Seaford - The Delaware State Police Collision Reconstruction Unit is investigating a single vehicle crash that has left an 18 year old man dead earlier this morning in Seaford.
Preliminary investigation has determined that the incident occurred on Saturday, May 24, 2014 at approximately 3:08 a.m. as a 2001 Jeep Cherokee, operated by Adrian J. Holt-18 of Seaford, DE was traveling Sussex Highway (US13) just north of Bethel Concord Road in the right lane of travel at an apparent high rate of speed. For undetermined reasons, the Jeep exited the right side of the roadway (east edge), onto the grass roadside. The vehicle then veered to the left, crossing the northbound lanes of US 13 onto the grass median, overturning multiple times. Holt was ejected from the Jeep and thrown into the southbound lanes of US 13.
Adrian J. Holt-18, the operator and sole occupant of the Jeep Cherokee was not properly restrained in the vehicle, sustained multiple traumatic injuries and was transported by Delaware State Police Helicopter Trooper 2 to the Christiana Hospital Trauma Center where he was pronounced dead. Preliminary determination has indicated that alcohol or drugs does not appear to be a factor in this incident.
US 13 northbound and southbound was closed and detoured for approximately 3 hours while the crash was investigated and cleared.
Troopers continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding this crash

Just another teen auto fatality.
ReplyDeleteDevastated parents, family, schoolmates. Never another chance to live a life be it exciting or mundane.
I'm 56 and it's been happening all my life. Nobody learns.
And the older I get, the more sick i am of seeing this.
ReplyDeleteSo sad. I just wish we could some how pound it into these kid's heads that driving has the very real potential to be deadly. I'm very tired of seeing these young lives lost as well.
