A 36-year-old woman and an 11-year-old girl killed Saturday in a motorcycle crash near Delmar have been identified by Delaware State Police as Hilary Brooks and Mia Brooks, both of Delmar.
The crash occurred at approximately 11:30 a.m. on August 29 on Whitesville Road, west of Robin Hood Road. Police said a Kawasaki Ninja was traveling eastbound behind a Dodge Dakota and a Ford F-650 rollback truck, which were also traveling east.
According to the preliminary investigation, the motorcycle passed the Dakota in a no-passing zone and struck the driver’s side of the rollback truck as the truck was making a left turn into a private driveway officials said. Hilary Brooks, who was operating the motorcycle, and Mia Brooks, who was riding as a passenger, were both ejected.
Hilary Brooks was transported to an area hospital, where she later died. Mia Brooks was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the rollback truck, a 19-year-old Laurel man, was not injured.
Whitesville Road was closed for approximately four hours while investigators examined the scene and the roadway was cleared.
