Nature: Vehicle Accident

Location: John J Williams Hwy and Eagle Lane, Millsboro, DE 19966

As the wintery mix of weather entered the Delmarva Peninsula, many vehicle accidents were encountered due to the freezing temperatures and sleeting rain.

On early Saturday morning, December 17th, the Indian River Volunteer Fire Company was alerted for a vehicle accident on John J. Williams Highway in the vicinity of Eagle Lane and Baywood. It was reported to be a single vehicle roll-over.

Emergency response units from Indian River included Rescue 80 from the Oak Orchard facility, Engine #80-1 from the Long Neck facility, and the Delaware State Fire Police.

Emergency response crew assignments included vehicle stabilization, assist with patient stabilization if needed, traffic control and overall scene mitigation.

It appears that a white Isuzu Trooper SUV type vehicle was traveling on John J. Williams Highway and lost control and overturning on the roadside shoulder and open field. The weather conditions were extremely hazardous for the traveling motorist.

The Delaware State Fire Police coordinated the traffic control assignment.

The Delaware State Police are investigating.
