Crash Northeast of Georgetown Leaves One Dead and One in Critical Condition

Georgetown, DE – The Delaware State Police Collision Reconstruction Unit is currently investigating a single vehicle crash that killed the operator and severely injured the passenger.

The incident occurred at approximately 12:55 a.m. this morning as Brandon M. Robertson, 21 of Milton, was operating a 1989 GMC Sierra northbound on Sand Hill Road just north of Rudd Road. As the truck entered into a moderate left curve, it failed to maintain the curve and drove off the east side of the roadway where it overturned onto its passenger's side and struck a utility pole with the windshield. The force of the impact severed the pole and rotated the truck in a clockwise manner before it came to a stop at the base of the pole.

Brandon Robertson, who was properly restrained, was pronounced dead at the scene. A passenger, Anthony B. Huling, 18 of Georgetown, was properly restrained and was extricated from the truck prior to being flown by State Police Aviation to Christiana Medical Center where he is currently listed in critical condition.

The Collision Reconstruction Unit is continuing their investigation into this incident. Emergency Responders have cleared the scene on Sand Hill Road, but it still remains closed due to utility crews working to repair the damaged pole.
