Wilmington, DE (July 2, 2025) – A 6-month-old baby girl was hospitalized after a rollover crash early Wednesday morning, July 2, on I-495 southbound.
The crash occurred at around 6:39 a.m. near the exit for Gov. Printz Blvd and Edgemoor Rd. According to New Castle County Paramedics, several bystanders stopped to help after the crash and assisted in removing the infant and two adult passengers from the vehicle.
Emergency crews transported the child to Nemours Children’s Hospital. Her current condition has not been released. The other two people in the vehicle were reportedly unhurt. Police have not said how many vehicles were involved in the crash.
Traffic on I-495 South was reduced to a single lane for just over an hour while responders removed the overturned vehicle and cleared the scene.
Delaware State Police continue to investigate the cause of the crash. More information may be released as the investigation moves forward. Our thoughts are with the child and her family as she recovers from this incident.
Rollover Crashes in Wilmington and Their Legal Impact
Rollover accidents are among the most dangerous types of car crashes, often leading to serious injuries or even fatalities. In areas like Wilmington and throughout Delaware, rollover accidents can occur on major highways like I-495 due to high speeds, tight curves, or driver
error.
These types of crashes often involve a sudden loss of vehicle control. When a car flips, even safety restraints may not fully protect the passengers. Infants and small children are especially vulnerable in rollover crashes, even if they are properly restrained in car seats.
After a serious crash, families are often left facing high medical bills, emotional trauma, and uncertainty about the future. In these moments, a Wilmington personal injury attorney can be an essential resource. They can investigate the crash, gather witness statements, review medical reports, and work with accident reconstruction experts to build a strong case. An experienced lawyer can also help determine if another driver, a vehicle manufacturer, or even a government agency was at fault for the crash.
Victims may be eligible for compensation for medical expenses, future care needs, pain and suffering, and other losses. For parents of injured children, this compensation can provide access to specialized care that helps ensure long-term recovery and well-being.
Delaware law gives accident victims the right to seek justice, especially when another party’s negligence caused the crash. Whether the crash was due to a mechanical failure, poor road conditions, or driver error, a Delaware accident lawyer can help families understand their rights and options.
It’s also worth noting that insurance companies often act quickly to minimize their liability after a rollover crash. A skilled attorney can step in early to protect the victim’s interests and push for a fair settlement. Legal representation ensures that no critical deadlines are missed and that all responsible parties are held accountable.
