Emergency crews responded to a serious crash involving a box truck Thursday evening at the intersection of Linden Hill Road and Skyline Drive.
Just after 8:20 p.m., rescue crews from the Mill Creek Fire Company, New Castle County Paramedics, and Delaware State Police Aviation’s Trooper 4 were dispatched to the scene for reports of a crash with entrapment. Upon arrival, first responders found the driver trapped inside a work van that had left the roadway and struck a tree.
Crews worked for approximately 10 minutes to extricate the driver from the wreckage. Once freed, the driver was evaluated on scene and transported by ground ambulance to Christiana Hospital. The extent of the driver’s injuries remains undetermined at this time.
No other vehicles were reported to be involved in the crash. The cause of the incident is under investigation. Linden Hill Road was closed during the incident.
Correction: Earlier descriptions of the vehicle indicate the accident involved and box truck. The vehicle was a white work van not a box truck.
