Harrington, DE – A two-vehicle crash in Harrington resulted in the death of a 64-year-old man last night. The incident occurred when a Ford Fusion attempted to turn left onto Tower Hill Road while an Infiniti G37 was traveling southbound on South Dupont Highway.

The Ford entered the path of the Infiniti, which then struck the Ford’s right side. The impact caused the Ford to veer off the roadway and hit a utility pole.

The driver of the Ford was transported to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His identity is being withheld pending notification of family.

The driver of the Infiniti, a 19-year-old man, sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was also taken to the hospital.

The road was closed for approximately four and a half hours while the Delaware State Police Troop 3 Collision Reconstruction Unit investigated.

The investigation is ongoing. Witnesses or anyone with relevant information is urged to contact Sergeant J. Wilson at (302) 698-8518.

Information can also be provided via a private Facebook message to the Delaware State Police or by contacting Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-847-3333.
