Nature: Vehicle Accident

Location: John J Williams Hwy and Rosedale Road, Millsboro, DE 19966

On Saturday evening, January 4^th, the Indian River Volunteer Fire Company and the local emergency medical provider were alerted for a vehicle accident on John J. Williams Highway west of Layton Davis Road.  It was reported to be a two-vehicle collision.

Emergency response apparatus from Indian River included Rescue 80 and Chief 80-15 from the Oak Orchard area as well as Engines #80-1, #80-3, and Command 80 from the Long Neck area.

Emergency response crews were assigned to assist with traffic control, vehicle stabilization and incident mitigation.

It appears that various roadway crew were present on John J. Williams Highway performed road maintenance and utility pole repairs as a result of an earlier property damage incident.  The roadway was closed with traffic cones and directional assistance from private contracting firms when a motorist apparently did not see the cones travel through the cones striking a vehicle that was on the shoulder of the roadway.  Both vehicles sustained front-end damage and one person was transported to nearby medical facilities.

The Delaware State Fire Police provided traffic control assistance during the incident.

The Delaware State Police are investigating..
