Resume: Members of the Delaware State Police Collision Reconstruction Unit are investigating a single vehicle fatal crash which occurred late last night on I-95 at Naamans Road.

A 2002 Chevrolet Malibu, operated by Edward Nott, Jr, 30, of Aston, Pennsylvania, was traveling southbound on I-95 at a high rate of speed. As the Malibu approached a curve in the roadway, the operator lost control. The car started to spin counterclockwise as it traveled off of the highway. It then came to an abrupt stop as it finally struck a steel support pole for an interstate road side.

The driver, Mr. Nott, was pronounced dead at the scene. He was not wearing his seatbelt at the time of the crash.

It is unknown if driver impairment was a factor in this collision. This incident remains under investigation.
