Delaware State Police are investigating a four-vehicle fatal crash that occurred this morning in Milford that left one man dead.
On July 11, 2025, at approximately 7:33 a.m., a Chevrolet Tahoe was traveling northbound on Coastal Highway, approaching Bakerfield Road. At the same time, a Chrysler Town and Country minivan was traveling southbound, in the left lane, on Coastal Highway, approaching Bakerfield Road. A Subaru Forester was traveling in the right lane behind the minivan and a Chrysler 200 was traveling in the left lane, behind the Subaru. The preliminary investigation revealed that as the Tahoe attempted to negotiate the gradual curve, it entered the center median, rotated counterclockwise, entered the southbound lanes of Coastal Highway, and into the path of the minivan. As a result, the right front of the Tahoe struck the left front of the minivan, separating the engine from the Tahoe. After the collision, the front of the Subaru struck the rear of the minivan, and the Chrysler struck the detached engine.
The driver of the Town and Country, a 71-year-old man from Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, was pronounced dead at the scene. His name is being withheld until his family is notified.
The driver of the Tahoe, a 31-year-old man from Frederica, Delaware, was taken to an area hospital with critical injuries.
The driver of the Forester, a 36-year-old woman from Doylestown, Pennsylvania, was taken to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The driver of the 200, a 34-year-old woman from Dover, Delaware, was not injured.
Coastal Highway was closed for approximately 4 hours while the scene was investigated and cleared.
