On Monday, November 30^th, the Indian River Volunteer Fire Company was alerted for a vehicle accident on John J. Williams Highway at the intersection of Plaza Drive (entrance to Giant).  The reporting person requested medical assistance to this location and possibility a disabled vehicle.

The emergency response units from Indian River included Rescue 80 from the Oak Orchard location, Engine #80-1 and Incident Command from the Long Neck area as well as the Delaware State Fire Police.   Pre-hospital emergency medical services were requested from the Mid Sussex Rescue and Millsboro EMS.

Emergency response crews coordinated traffic control, patient evaluation and stabilization, fluid and debris recovery, and incident mitigation activities.  Both EMS units transported one person from each vehicle to nearby medical facilities.  Engine #80-1 was cancelled while responding to the incident location.

It appears that a gray Chevrolet Pick-up and a black Ford Fusion sedan encountered an altercation causing the left front tire of the pick-up to become dislocated from its assembly.  The pick-up continued up into the curbing and landscaping area and the sedan remained in the intersection.   During the mitigation phase of the incident, one of the drivers suffered a medical situation and needed additional medical services via the Sussex County Paramedics.

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

The Delaware State Police are investigating.
