The Delaware State Police are investigating a fatal crash involving a bicyclist that occurred in Lewes early this morning that left one woman dead.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, March 5, 2024, at approximately 1:57 a.m., a 2020 Isuzu 6-wheel box truck was traveling eastbound on John J. Williams Highway just west of Mulberry Knoll Road. For reasons under investigation, a bicyclist entered the eastbound lane of John J. Williams Highway, into the path of the box truck. As a result, the box truck struck the bicyclist in the eastbound travel lane.<\/p>\n
