Hockessin – Early this morning, Tuesday, April 18, at around 7:30 a.m. New Castle County Police along with rescue crews responded the area of Brackenville Road at Valley Wood Road for an injury accident.
Arriving units found that a tree had fallen on a vehicle in the roadway. The passengers in the car were Delaware Attorney General Matt Denn and his son according to the AG’s Spokesman Carl Kanefsky.
Attorney General Denn and his son Zach were driving this morning in their family car when a tree fell across the road and totaled the vehicle.
