According to a DSP report, a 63-year-old Magnolia man was driving a 2017 Ford Escort southbound on Clapham Road. For unknown reasons, the Ford crossed the centerline and collided head-on with a 2023 Mazda CX-30 that was traveling northbound on Clapham. The driver of the Mazda, a 16-year-old girl from Milford, tried to swerve to avoid the Ford but was unsuccessful. The Ford exited the road and came to rest in the woods after striking several trees. The Mazda spun and came to rest in the southbound lanes of Clapham Road.
The 63-year-old man was pronounced dead at the crash scene. His identity has not been released at this time. The 16-year-old girl was not injured in the accident. Her passenger, an 11-year-old girl, was taken by ambulance for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
The road was closed for about 3 hours while police investigated the crash and cleared the area. The Delaware State Police continue to investigate.
There is no further information at this time.
We want to offer our thoughts and condolences to all who were affected by this fatal car accident in Magnolia.
