A tragic single-vehicle collision in Dover has claimed the life of a local woman. The incident, which occurred yesterday early morning, involved a Mazda CX5 that was reportedly navigating Hazlettville Road at a high rate of speed before the crash unfolded, according to details released by the Delaware State Police.
The preliminary investigation suggests the driver lost control while approaching a curve leading to a catastrophic outcome; her vehicle eventually collided with a mailbox, a utility pole guide wire, and after overturning, came to a stop against a tree and an unoccupied vehicle parked at a residence. The 28-year-old driver was ejected from the Mazda, and despite the absence of other parties involved in this midnight calamity, she was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities have yet to release the identity of the decedent, pending family notification. Meanwhile, witness accounts are being sought by the Troop 3 Collision Reconstruction Unit, which spearheads the ongoing inquiry. Troopers urge anyone with information to come forth, thereby facilitating a thorough examination of what occurred on the 3900 block of Hazlettville Road. Following the incident, the area was closed for investigation and cleanup procedures.
