Teen, young man killed, 4 others injured in crash in Seaford, Del. – NBC10 Philly

A Pennsylvania teenager and a North Carolina man were killed and four others were injured in a two-vehicle crash in Delaware in which one of the drivers may have been under the influence of alcohol, investigators said.

At approximately 1:30 a.m. on Sunday, October 6, a 2016 Nissan Rogue was traveling south on the Sussex Highway in Seaford, Delaware. At the same time, a 2005 Honda Pilot was traveling north on the road and got into the path of the Nissan, Delaware State Police said.

The two vehicles then collided.

Two passengers in the Rogue, a 22-year-old man from Fayetteville, North Carolina, and an 18-year-old woman from Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, died in the crash. Police have not released her identity pending notification of her family members.

The driver of the Rogue, a 22-year-old man from Washington, D.C., and another passenger, an 18-year-old woman from Bethesda, Maryland, were both taken to the hospital in critical condition.

The Pilot’s driver, a 24-year-old man, and his passenger, a 40-year-old man, both of Georgetown, Delaware, were also taken to the hospital with serious injuries. State police said “impairment was suspected as the cause of the accident” but did not provide further details.

The road was closed at the scene of the accident for around three hours before it was later reopened.
