SUSSEX COUNTY, DE - A Millsboro man was arrested for DUI, Drug, and crash related offenses following a crash that injured three children in Long Neck Friday night.
On September 27th, at approximately 7:25pm, a Chevrolet Silverado was traveling southbound on Indian Mission Road, stopped for traffic at the red light on John J. Williams Highway. Police say a Kia K5 was stopped behind the vehicle, a Ford F-150 was stopped behind the Kia, and a BMW X7 was stopped behind the F-150.
At this same time, a Mercedes GLE, driven by 29-year-old Judson Wall, of Millsboro, was traveling southbound on Indian Mission Road, approaching the stopped vehicles.
DSP say the investigation revealed that Wall's vehicle was traveling at an "unsafe speed and failed to stay in the proper lane of travel". Wall's vehicle sideswiped the BMW X7 and the Ford F-150. The Mercedes then struck the back of the Kia, causing it to hit the Silverado, according to police.

Troopers say while talking to Wall, they observed multiple signs of impairment. A Standardized Field Sobriety Test was administered, and Wall was taken into custody.
