Ellendale, DE (January 30, 2026) – A multi-vehicle crash with reported injuries occurred earlier today at the intersection of Milton Ellendale Hwy and Spicer Rd in the Ellendale area. Emergency units were dispatched to the scene at about 7:53 a.m. after reports of a serious crash involving several vehicles.
Initial reports indicated three vehicles were involved and as many as three people may have been hurt. Early dispatch notes mentioned possible entrapment, but first responders later confirmed that no one was trapped inside the vehicles. Crews evaluated those involved and provided medical assistance at the scene.
At least one medical helicopter was placed on alert but was later canceled after ground crews confirmed it was not needed. Responders continued treating the injured and managing the scene while traffic was redirected around the intersection.
Authorities have not yet released details about the identities of those involved or the extent of their injuries. The cause of the crash has not been shared at this time.
Officials are continuing to review what led up to the crash. Our thoughts are with those hurt as they receive treatment and work toward recovery.
Risks Drivers Face at Multi-Vehicle Intersections
Multi-vehicle crashes often happen at busy or rural highway intersections where traffic flows from several directions at once. Drivers may misjudge speed or distance, or fail to see an approaching vehicle when turning or crossing. When three or more vehicles are involved, the chance of injury rises because of multiple points of impact.
People hurt in multi-vehicle crashes can suffer a wide range of injuries. These may include neck and back strain, broken bones, head injuries, and internal trauma. Some symptoms appear right away, while others may take hours or days to show. Medical visits help document injuries
and guide follow-up treatment if problems develop later.
