Just before 8:30 on a Tuesday morning rescue crews from multiple agencies responded to a rollover crash with reported entrapment in Sussex County.
Crews from the Selbyville Volunteer Fire Company, Roxana Fire Company, Sussex County Paramedics, and Delaware State Police (DSP) Aviation’s Trooper 2 responded to 32809 West Line Road in Selbyville.
Initial reports from the scene indicated that a vehicle had left the roadway and ended up in a swampy area, subsequently overturning and submerging in the water. Bystanders reportedly pulled the driver from the vehicle. It’s unknown how long the patient was trapped inside the submerged vehicle.
Initially it was reported that CPR was in progress. However, a later update indicated that the patient was in critical condition but breathing.
The patient was prepared for transport and is currently en route to the Christiana Hospital Emergency Room (CER) via Trooper 2.
