Delaware State Police are investigating a fatal crash that occurred this morning near Angola that left one man dead.

Officials said on Friday morning, at approximately 5:52 a.m., a Nissan Sentra was traveling southbound on Hollymount Road north of John J. Williams Highway.

At the same time, two commercial flatbed trailers were parked northbound, partially in the northbound shoulder and partially in the grass. There were orange reflective traffic cones positioned alongside the trailers. For reasons under investigation, the Sentra left the southbound lane of travel and entered the northbound shoulder, where it struck one of the trailers. The impact from the collision pushed the first trailer into the second trailer.

The driver, a 48-year-old man from Millsboro, was pronounced dead at the scene. His name is being withheld until his family is notified.

Hollymount Road was closed for approximately 3.5 hours while the scene was investigated and cleared.
