Nature: Vehicle Accident ALS

Address: Indian Mission Rd & Friendship Road, Millsboro, DE 19966

On Friday morning, June 21st, the Indian River Volunteer Fire Company was alerted for a vehicle collision on Indian Mission Road at the intersection of Friendship Road. It was reported to be a tractor trailer and larger SUV type vehicle.

Emergency response apparatus included: Rescue 80 from the Oak Orchard facility and Engine #80-5 from the Long Neck facility.

Emergency response crews were assigned to coordinate and assist with patient care, if needed; perform vehicle stabilization efforts and debris recovery measures; and provide traffic control assistance, where needed.

It appears that a black Cadillac Escalade EXT was traveling south on Indian Mission Road and attempted to make a u-turn directly into the path of a white tractor trailer also heading south on Indian Mission Road. The semi-truck struck the Cadillac on the driver’s side in a t-bone type impact causing the side air bag curtains to deploy. The occupant of the Cadillac was transferred to nearby medical facility for additional evaluation.

The Delaware State Fire Police provided traffic control assistance for the duration of the incident.

The Delaware State Police are investigating.
