Resume:
Seaford- A Georgetown man suffered a serious head injury in a crash yesterday outside of Seaford.

The incident occurred at approximately 10:40 a.m. as Joseph E. Thomas, 65, rode a 2012 Harley-Davidson motorcycle north on Concord Pond Road, south of Hastings Farm Road. For an undetermined reason, the motorcycle left the east side of the roadway and drove into a ditch where it stayed upright, traveling north for several hundred feet.

The motorcycle then began to leave the ditch, ejecting Thomas. Thomas, who was not wearing a helmet, landed with his head striking a roadside utility box.

Thomas was transported by ambulance to Nanticoke Memorial Hospital and then flown to Christiana Hospital where he was admitted with a serious head injury. Concord Pond Road was closed for approximately two hours as Troopers investigated and cleared the crash.

  1. Helmets, kids! I don't care if it's legal not to, I've NEVER ridden without WEARING one. I'm 59 and counting.
