Delaware State Police are investigating a fatal two-vehicle crash that occurred last week in Seaford that left a child dead.
Officials said on July 27, 2025, at approximately 4:28 p.m., a Toyota Corolla was traveling southbound on Coverdale Road, approaching the stop sign at Hastings Farm Road. At the same time, a Toyota Tundra was traveling eastbound on Hastings Farm Road, approaching Coverdale Road.
Troopers said the preliminary investigation revealed that the Corolla failed to stop at the stop sign and entered the Tundra’s path of travel. As a result, the front of the Tundra struck the passenger’s side of Corolla.
A rear seat passenger in the Corolla, a 6-year-old from Bridgeville, Delaware, was taken to an area hospital with life-threatening injuries where on August 1, 2025, he died from his injuries. The driver of the Corolla, a 44-year-old woman from Bridgeville, Delaware was taken to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. A front seat passenger, a 15-year-old female from Bridgeville, Delaware, was taken to an area hospital with critical injuries.
The driver of the Tundra, a 45-year-old man from Georgetown, Delaware, refused transport to the hospital.
