Lewes – A 19-year-old female that was seriously injured during an accident on June 17, 2021, succumbs to her injuries, Public Information Officer, Master Corporal Heather Pepper.
Pepper said on June 17, 2021, at approximately 5:38 p.m., a 2006 Ford F-250 pickup truck towing a dual axle dump trailer, operated by a Georgetown man, was traveling westbound on Shady Road approaching the intersection of Plantations Road with a green light.
