Resume:

Delaware State Police are investigating a two vehicle crash that killed a Millsboro man. The crash happened on Friday on SR 24 at Carey’s Camp Rd west of Millsboro.

A 1998 Dodge Caravan, operated by David K. Edwards was westbound on SR24 approaching the intersection of Carey’s Camp Road (CR421). At the same time a 2004 Chrysler Sebring, operated by Kathleen Persinger, 53 was southbound on Carey’s Camp Road, approaching the intersection of SR 24. Persinger failed to stop for the posted stop sign and pulled directly into the intersection in front of the Caravan.

Dorey, who was wearing his seatbelt in the front right passenger seat, was pronounced dead at the scene. Persinger who was wearing her seatbelt, was flown to Christiana Medical Center and was admitted in serious condition with multiple injuries.

Joe, Is the Kathleen Persinger that is listed in this accident the Kathy Persinger that taught at Delmar High School. I am not sure if the one I am thinking of still did. I graduated in 97 and she was there then.
