Millsboro, DE- Delaware State Police have identified the victim who died in a fatal motor vehicle collision on Monday, January 17, 2022, as Josephine Fleming-Lloyd, 13, of Frankford.
The initial investigation determined a 2006 Jeep Liberty operated by a 17-year-old female of Frankford, DE, was traveling northbound on Hollyville Road, approaching the intersection at Harmony Cemetery Road.

After impact, the Jeep was forced off the west side of the roadway, and came to rest. The Freightliner was redirected off the west side of the roadway and struck a tree with its front right before coming to rest south of the impact.
