Emergency crews responded to the intersection of Milford Harrington Highway and Canterbury Road in Milford early Sunday morning following reports of a head-on collision with entrapment.
Upon arrival, crews confirmed that both drivers were trapped in their vehicles and immediately began extrication efforts. At 7:16 a.m., the first patient was successfully freed, and approximately four minutes later, the second patient was also extricated.
Delaware State Police Aviation initially dispatched two helicopters to the scene. However, Trooper 4 was later recalled, while Trooper 2 transported one patient by air to Christiana Hospital in Stanton. The second patient was transported by ground to a local hospital for treatment.
Milford, Frederica, and Houston fire companies, along with Kent County Paramedics and Delaware State Police Aviation, responded to the scene to provide emergency medical care and transport.
