A 27-year-old Dover woman was killed Sunday afternoon in a single-vehicle crash on Bay Road, according to the Delaware State Police.
The crash occurred on July 26, 2026, at approximately 3:10 p.m., when a Lexus GX entered the northbound right merge lane of Bay Road from Exit 93 in Dover. The preliminary investigation determined the SUV was traveling at an apparent high rate of speed while making reckless lane changes. The vehicle then left the west side of the roadway, struck the center median Jersey barrier, and rolled onto its side.
The driver, identified as 27-year-old Aubrie Barnes of Dover, was not wearing a seat belt and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Bay Road remained closed for approximately four hours as members of the Delaware State Police investigated the crash and cleared the scene. The investigation remains ongoing.
