Nature: Fire Police Assist Delaware State Police

Location: School Lane and Long Neck Rd., Millsboro, DE 19966

On Monday evening, August 10^th, the Delaware State Fire Police allocated to the Indian River Volunteer Fire Company were requested to assist the Delaware State Police with traffic control at the location of a vehicle accident on Long Neck Road at School Lane. 

Emergency response personnel from Indian River included the fire police officers, as well as the Utility 80-11 and 80 Incident Command responded to the scene to assist with the clean-up.  Available resources at the Long Neck facility were utilized to supply brooms, shovels, and fluid absorbent.

It appears that a private contractor’s pick-up was traveling on Long Neck Road attempting to navigate the intersection at School Lane when it was rear ended by a white compact vehicle.  This section of the roadway was closed for the duration to allow cleaning of the roadway from contractor debris.  Emergency response units remained on scene until the vehicles could be removed.

The Delaware State Police are investigating.
