New Castle – Just after 11:15 Monday night, June 1, 2020, rescue crews from the Delaware City Fire Company along with New Castle County Paramedics, New Castle County Police and Delaware State Police Aviation’s Trooper 4 were dispatched to the intersection of River Road and Wrangle Hill Road for a motor vehicle accident involving multiple patients and a vehicle on fire.

First arriving crews reported that two patients were trapped in the vehicle.
