Delaware State Police are investigating a single-vehicle fatal crash that occurred in Dover early this morning.
Officials said on September 27, 2024, at approximately 12:05 a.m., a Mazda CX5 was traveling westbound on Hazlettville Road approaching Artis Drive at an apparent high rate of speed. The preliminary investigation showed that the Mazda failed to negotiate a curve, left the north side of the road, striking a mailbox and a utility pole guy-wire. The Mazda then overturned, struck a tree, and an unoccupied vehicle at a residence on the 3900 block of Hazlettville Road. The unrestrained driver was ejected from the car.
The driver, 28-year-old Cassidy Ramsey of Dover, Delaware, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The roadway was closed for an extended period of time while the scene was investigated and cleared.
