New Castle Co, DE (December 13, 2024) – An injury car crash occurred on Thursday morning on I-95 Southbound at the Christiana Road Off Ramp in New Castle County. The collision, reported by the Delaware State Police, involved two cars and caused significant traffic delays while emergency crews responded to the scene.
According to the Delaware State Police, the crash took place at approximately 8:30 a.m. when a sedan and an SUV collided in the right lane of the off-ramp. The impact caused one of the cars to spin out of control, coming to rest partially blocking the ramp. Firefighters from the Christiana Fire Company were called to assist in extricating one of the drivers from the wreckage.
The injured driver was transported to a nearby hospital by ambulance with non-life-threatening injuries. Fortunately, no fatalities were reported, but both vehicles were heavily damaged and required towing.
