The driver charged with a DUI was driving his truck at high speed and hit a 2004 F-150 making a U-turn. The man driving the truck which was hit was a 61-year-old Selbyville man. The driver was 23 years old and had a passenger in is car, a 23-year-old female. All three individuals involved were restrained, treated and released from Beebe Hospital.
Due to the location of the crash, units from Bethany Beach, Millville and Rehoboth Beach responded to the incident. Sussex County EMS also responded to help those involved get to the hospital. Ambulance rides, treatment for injury and recovery from crashes can be extremely expensive for people involved in car accidents. Those in more serious collisions may also face expenses including damages from lost income or wrongful death. Delaware victims looking for legal guidance in these cases should contact a lawyer in the state.
