Wilmington, DE (June 25, 2025) – One person suffered serious injuries in a crash on Wednesday, June 25, involving a pickup and a tractor-trailer.
At 1:52 p.m., crews from Mill Creek Fire Company responded to the 3900 block of Newport Gap Pike, near Graves Rd. Firefighters found the driver of the pickup truck trapped in the wreckage with significant injuries. They freed the driver within eight minutes and transported them to Christiana Hospital with help from New Castle County Paramedics.
The crash also led to a diesel fuel spill, with more than 150 gallons leaking at the scene. HAZMAT teams from the Belvedere Fire Company worked alongside the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) to contain and clean up the spill. Multiple fire companies, including Hockessin and Cranston Heights, also responded to assist.
Authorities have not yet released further details about what caused the crash or the condition of the tractor-trailer driver. Investigators are still reviewing the case.

Car Accidents in Wilmington and New Castle County
Crashes happen often in Wilmington and its surrounding areas, especially on heavily traveled routes like Newport Gap Pike and Mill Creek
Rd. These accidents can leave people with long-term injuries, missed work, and large medical bills. When someone is hurt in a car accident, it’s important to take action right away.
Delaware has a high number of vehicle collisions each year. In many cases, the victims are not at fault. Distracted driving, speeding, and aggressive lane changes are just a few of the top reasons crashes happen across New Castle County. When someone else causes a wreck, victims deserve a chance to recover physically and financially.
Working with a knowledgeable Delaware car accident lawyer can make the process easier. A Wilmington personal injury attorney can gather evidence, speak with witnesses, and deal with insurance companies that may try to avoid paying fair compensation. Legal professionals help ensure that injury victims have someone looking out for them.
The injuries from car crashes vary. Some people suffer from back or neck pain, while others face broken bones or head injuries. Even if an injury seems minor at first, it can worsen over time. That’s why it’s smart to get checked by a doctor and talk to a lawyer soon after a crash.
A personal injury lawyer can also help recover costs like ambulance rides, ER visits, medication, physical therapy, and time missed at work. If a crash leads to long-term damage, victims may also be able to seek damages for pain, suffering, and emotional trauma.
Many people don’t know their rights after a crash or how much compensation they may deserve. That’s where experienced legal help can make a real difference. From filing claims to going to court if needed, a strong legal team helps victims fight back.
