While en route crews learned that a Trooper was on scene reporting that one person may have been ejected and was missing.
Upon arrival, crews reported that two patients were being evaluated by EMS. Crews also reported that one driver had fled the scene on foot and another driver was still unaccounted for.
Delaware State Police Aviation’s Trooper 4 responded to the crash to search for the missing drivers, however, no one was found according to reports from the scene.

Crews were then dispatched to the scene for a pedestrian struck incident. Just after the dispatch, Trooper 4 was recalled and Command canceled the paramedics.
