Officials were called to the scene at Red Lion Road and Hunters Run Way. According to a report, 28-year-old John Aiken was riding a motorcycle on Hunters Run Way when he came to the intersection. As Aiken proceeded through the intersection, he collided with a 2015 Hyundai Sonata driven by a 31-year-old man from Elkton, MD. The Hyundai was making a left turn in front of the motorcycle at the time of the accident.
Aiken suffered critical injuries and died at the crash scene. It is unclear whether anyone else was hurt as a result of the accident. The driver of the Hyundai was not immediately identified.
Police are still continuing to investigate the crash. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Delaware State Police. There is no additional information available.
