Nature: Vehicle Accident

Location: East Wind Dr and Taylor Dr., Pot Nets Creekside, Millsboro, DE 19966

On Friday evening, May 1^st, the Indian River Volunteer Fire Company was alerted for a vehicle accident on East Wind Drive and Taylor Drive in the Pot Nets Creekside development off Long Neck Road.  It was reported to the single vehicle into a residential structure.

Emergency response units from Indian River included Engine #80-1 from the Long Neck facility and Rescue 80 from the Oak Orchard facility as well as the Delaware State Fire Police.  Additional resources included the local emergency medical services provider and the Delaware State Police.

Emergency response crew assignments included vehicle stabilization and structural stabilization if needed, evaluation for fluid and fuel leakage, as well as overall incident mitigation.

It appears that a red Mercedes SL convertible apparently left the roadway (Long Neck Road) striking misc. shrubbery and trees before striking the residential structure causing significant damage to both the structure and vehicle.  One person was transported to nearby medical facilities for additional observations.   

The Delaware State Fire Police coordinated traffic control for the duration of the incident.

The Delaware State Police are investigating.  Additional information may be obtained by viewing the following link:  https://dsp.delaware.gov/2020/05/02/wilmington-man-arrested-after-crashing-into-residence-millsboro/?fbclid=IwAR0qBNdMvPb5zXpKegXbKlNYd-tLu9AHq8NpUHzbZZybKqdm7rQoNEbqG4Y
