MILFORD, Del.- Delaware State Police say an 84-year-old man was killed while driving across Route One Thursday afternoon.
Troopers say the man was trying to cross Route One's northbound lanes and get onto Lady Slipper Lane when he drove directly into the path of a Dodge Durango going northbound on the highway. The 30-year-old female driver of that car struck the side of the man's Chevy Equinox, sending the Equinox into a hedgerow and overturning.
Police say the 84-year-old man was pronounced dead on scene. The woman was taken to the hospital but is expected to be OK.
As troopers continue to investigate the crash, anyone with information is asked to contact Master Corporal Kenneth Argo by calling 302-644-5020.
