Newark – Delaware State Police, along with Christina Fire Company, responded to Chapman Road and Route 273 this morning for a report of a vehicle accident with a rollover.
Arriving units found a high impact crash that ripped a small Hyundai car completely in half and a Cadillac SRX on its top. The impact ripped the back end of the Hyundai off the car and sent it flying into the ACME parking lot, landing about 40 yards away.

Reports from the scene indicate that four people were transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
