On Tuesday evening, October 17th, the Indian River Volunteer Fire Company was alerted for a vehicle accident on Oak Orchard and River Road in Oak Orchard.  Additional emergency alerts included the Mid Sussex Rescue Squad and the Sussex County Paramedics.  It was reported that a single vehicle did not stop at the end of Oak Orchard Road ran over the bulkhead into the Indian River Bay.

It appears that a white BMW X4 was traveling on Oak Orchard Road and continued into Indian River Bay when the road curved.  A nearby resident who is affiliated with the fire company assisted the vehicle’s occupant out of the vehicle.

The Delaware State Fire Police assisted with traffic control where needed.
