Original Story
Bear – Just before 5:00 this evening rescue crews from the Christiana Fire Company along with New Castle County Paramedics and Troopers with the Delaware State Police responded to Pulaski Hwy (Route 40) and Buckley Blvd. for reports of a rollover crash.
Upon their arrival, crews reported a total of three patients injured, one of which was trapped.
Early reports from the scene indicate that the driver of a suv may have had a medical episode before drifting across Route 40 into oncoming traffic. The suv then collided with a passenger car before rolling over and hitting a tree, trapping the driver.
The patient was freed by rescue crews after several minutes and later transported to the trauma center at Christiana Hospital via ambulance with New Castle County Paramedic accompanying.
Two other patients were also transported to Christiana Hospital with what are believed to be non-life-threatening injuries.
Route 40 WB was closed while crews worked to clear the accident.
