Motorcyclist Succumbs to Injuries Sustained in Tuesday's Crash

Georgetown, DE – Eduardo Adrian Giorgi, 47 of Salisbury, Maryland, has died as a result of the injuries he sustained in the May 19, 2015 crash.

The incident occurred around 7:43 a.m., Tuesday May 19, 2015 as Joseph M. Rose, 33 of Georgetown, was operating a 2011 Toyota Tundra westbound on County Seat Highway (US9) approaching Asbury Road. Eduardo Adrian Giorgi, 47 of Salisbury, Maryland was operating a 2005 Kawasaki R650 motorcycle eastbound on US9 also approaching the intersection with Asbury Road. As the Tundra was attempting to make a left turn onto Asbury Road to travel southbound, the motorcycle was traveling on the shoulder of the road passing a number of vehicles stopped in traffic while a separate non-contact vehicle, that was also traveling eastbound on US9, was attempting to make a left turn to travel northbound on Asbury Road. The front bumper of the truck then struck the motorcycle on the left side ejecting the motorcyclist forward and into the grass on the southeast corner. The truck was able to come to a controlled stop immediately after impact on Asbury Road.

Joseph Rose, who was not properly restrained, was removed from the scene by EMS and transported to Nanticoke Memorial Hospital where he was treated and released with non-life-threatening injuries.

Eduardo Giorgi, who was wearing an approved DOT helmet, was removed from the scene by EMS and initially transported to Nanticoke Memorial Hospital before being transferred to Christiana Medical Center in Stanton where he succumbed to his injuries Friday May 22, 2015 around 4:30 a.m.

US9 was closed between Concord Road and Tyndall Road for approximately two hours while the crash was investigated and cleared. The Collision Reconstruction Unit is continuing to investigate this incident and no charges have been filed.
