Rescue crews responded late Thursday evening to a vehicle collision along Pulaski Highway near the Frenchtown Woods development, close to the Maryland state line.
At approximately 11:36 p.m., Aetna Hose Hook and Ladder Company responded alongside New Castle County Paramedics and the Delaware State Police Aviation Section after reports indicated a vehicle had struck a tree head-on and was on fire.
