This is the second vehicle accident with a fatality on this road in the last week.
I wish DE State Police would do some radar on this road and slow these people down! Some think this road is a raceway! I'd let them sit in my driveway anytime.
There have also been 2 fires on this road in the last week.
Nowhere in the article did it say he was speeding. Go ahead and let the cops sit in your driveway. Bring them coffee and doughnuts too. I hope you get the first ticket
And ... 19 minutes later, WBOC posted the same story on their web site
Daddio, have you noticed how after ALL these years the local MSM is not telling their viewers about CRIME. This is a MJOR victory for us at Salisbury News as we have been publishing single handedly for more than 5 years now crime reports no one else would put out there. Tonight's WBOC broadcast was mainly about crime. Citizens are begoming more educated about protecting themselves and that's fantastic.
The other thing I've been noticing is how we show "My Ride Into Work" images daily and now WBOC is doing almost the same thing by showing SUNSETS instead.
So you see, Salisbury News IS Delmarva's News Leader and WBOC is just following what is RIGHT about news on the Shore.
