Delaware State Police are investigating a fatal three-vehicle crash that occurred this morning in Felton that left one man dead.

On March 26, 2025, at approximately 9:01 a.m., a Ford Fusion was traveling southbound on Canterbury Road north of Roesville Road at an apparent high rate of speed. At the same time, a Toyota Camry was traveling northbound on Canterbury Road approaching the intersection at Roesville Road. A third vehicle, a Mazda CX-5, was also traveling northbound behind the Camry.

After the collision with the Camry, the Fusion left the east side of Canterbury Road, re-entered the roadway, and the front of the Fusion struck the front of the Mazda. The Mazda then entered a drainage ditch causing it to rollover on its side.

The Delaware State Police are investigating a fatal collision that occurred early this morning on I-495 in Wilmington that left one man dead.

On March 24, 2025, at approximately 4:57 a.m., a silver 2011 Ford Fusion was stopped in the center lane of I-495 northbound, just south of the exit for US Route 13.
