HARRINGTON, Del. - Delaware State Police are investigating a fatal crash in Harrington on Thursday night that claimed the life of a 27-year-old woman.

The driver, 27-year-old Elizabeth Draper from Frederica, was taken to a nearby hospital but did not survive. 

Police say the roadway was closed for about three hours while an investigation was conducted and the scene cleared.
