MILLSBORO, Del. — A 58-year-old man was killed early Sunday morning when a minivan veered into his lane and struck his motorcycle on Millsboro Highway, according to Delaware State Police.
The fatal crash occurred around 2:30 a.m. on May 25. Police say a 2006 Toyota Sienna was traveling southbound just north of East Line Road when the driver failed to maintain his lane while navigating a curve. The vehicle crossed into the northbound lane and struck a 2010 Victory motorcycle traveling in the opposite direction.
The impact ejected the motorcyclist, who was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities said the victim was a Millsboro resident, but his name has not been released pending family notification.
The Toyota’s driver, a 48-year-old man from Salisbury, Maryland, was not injured in the crash. Two of his passengers sustained non-life-threatening injuries and were transported to a nearby hospital. A third passenger was unhurt.
Crash remains under investigation
Millsboro Highway was closed for approximately three and a half hours as troopers investigated the scene and cleared the roadway. Delaware State Police have not announced any charges or citations as of Sunday afternoon.
