| Delmar woman killed in crash |
|
A crash on Saturday evening, June 15, left one Delmar resident dead and two Delmar residents injured. At 6:32 p.m., Lisa A. Hicks, 45, was driving a 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt in the westbound lane of Pepperbox Road. The vehicle approached Brittingham Road, Hicks failed to negotiate the roadway's curve to the right and exited the south edge of the roadway. The vehicle briefly traveled westward in a drainage ditch along the south side of Pepperbox Road before striking a driveway culvert. This impact catapulted the vehicle, causing it to overturn several times before coming to rest, upright, in the intersection of Pepperbox and Brittingham roads. Lisa A. Hicks, who was properly restrained, was flown to Christiana Hospital where she was admitted in critical condition. Mindy L. Hicks, 27, who was the front seat passenger in the vehicle, was partially ejected and pronounced dead at the scene. The preliminary investigation suggests that she was properly restrained at the time of the crash. The rear passenger, Ernest R. Doney, 32, was not properly restrained and was ejected from the vehicle, landing in a grassy area. He was transported by ambulance to Peninsula Regional Medical Center, where he was admitted in serious condition. The Collision Reconstruction Unit is continuing its investigation.
