Hockessin man arrested for DUI and vehicular assault in Newark crash
NEWARK, DE – Delaware State Police arrested 32-year-old Tristan Proffitt from Hockessin for vehicular assault, DUI, and related charges following a crash that occurred Saturday night.
On Saturday at approximately 10:00 p.m., troopers responded to a two-vehicle collision at the intersection of Paper Mill Road and Polly Drummond Hill Road. Preliminary investigations revealed that a Kia Sportage, driven by Proffitt, was traveling northbound on Polly Drummond Hill Road and entered the intersection after running a red light.
At the same time, a Kia Forte was traveling southbound on Paper Mill Road when it was struck by the Sportage. Troopers contacted Proffitt at the scene and observed signs of impairment, leading to a DUI investigation.
After administering Standardized Field Sobriety Tests, authorities determined that Proffitt was impaired and took him into custody without incident. The driver of the Forte, a 40-year-old man from Middletown, and his passenger, a 21-year-old man from Newark, were both transported to an area hospital with serious injuries.
Proffitt was taken to Troop 6, where he was charged with two counts of first-degree vehicular assault, driving a vehicle under the influence of a combination of alcohol and any drug, and failure to stop at a red light. He was arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 11 and released on a $2,500 unsecured bond.
The police investigation remains ongoing as authorities evaluate the incident’s circumstances.
