SEAFORD, DE - The Delaware State Police are investigating a Seaford crash that claimed the life of a 58-year-old man more than a month later.
According to police, just after 3 p.m. on November 3rd, a box truck was stopped at a stop sign at the intersection of Woodland Ferry Road and Woodpecker Road. At the same time, police say a Ford F-150 was driving east on Woodpecker Road, which is a throughway.
