At the same time, a 2010 Victory motorcycle was traveling northbound on Millsboro Highway, in the same area. For reasons under investigation, the Toyota failed to maintain its lane as it navigated a curve in the roadway, and entered the motorcycle&#8217;s path of travel in the northbound lane of Millsboro Highway. As a result, the Toyota struck the motorcycle, causing the motorcyclist to be ejected.<\/p>\n<p>The motorcyclist, a 58-year-old man from Millsboro, Delaware, was pronounced dead at the scene. His name is being withheld until his family and relatives are notified.<\/p>\n<p>The driver of the Toyota, a 48-year-old man from Salisbury, Maryland, was not injured. Two of the Toyota&#8217;s passengers were taken to an area hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. A third passenger was not injured.<\/p>\n<p>The roadway was closed for approximately 3.5 hours while the scene was investigated and cleared.<\/p>\n<p>The Delaware State Police Troop 7 Collision Reconstruction Unit continues to investigate this crash. Troopers are asking anyone who witnessed this collision to please contact Sergeant A. Mitchell by calling 302-703-3269.
