According to a report from authorities, a Ford Ranger was traveling at a high rate of speed on South Dupont Boulevard. The driver lost control of the truck, and it left the road, striking a highway sign in the median. The driver overcorrected the vehicle as it came back onto the roadway, causing it to overturn. Both the driver and passenger were ejected from the truck. The 30-year-old male driver and 29-year-old male passenger, both from Milford, died as a result of the crash.
The identities of the two men have not been released at this time. There were no other vehicles involved.

Fatal Car Accidents in Delaware
Fatal car accidents are devastating events for loved ones. There is nothing more catastrophic than the sudden and unexpected loss of a loved one due to a traffic crash. This is especially true if your family member was killed in a crash that was not their fault. Each year, approximately 150 people tragically lose their lives in car accidents on Delaware’s roadways. Many of these victims are innocent motorists who were affected by the negligence of another driver.
While the loss of a loved one can be overwhelming, it is important to keep your legal rights in mind. Under Delaware law, family members may be entitled to file a legal claim against a negligent driver who caused the crash. These claims must typically be filed within a certain period of time. Waiting too long can result in the loss of your rights and your ability to receive compensation.
