Troopers Investigate Fatal Crash on Mount Joy Road, Millsboro

Millsboro, DE – The Delaware State Police Collision Reconstruction Unit is currently investigating a single vehicle fatal crash that occurred Monday night north of Millsboro

The incident occurred around 7:30 p.m. Monday June 8, 2015, as Jasmine D. Andrews, 22 of Georgetown was operating a 2003 Ford Taurus westbound on Mount Joy Road approximately .2 mile east of Gravel Hill Road at an apparent high rate of speed. As the operator attempted to negotiate a left curve, the car began to lose traction and spin in a counter-clockwise manner and then in an attempt to over-correct, the car then began to spin back in a clockwise direction and travel off the north side of the road where it struck a utility pole on the driver's side.

Jasmine Andrews, who was properly restrained, was extensively trapped in the vehicle and was pronounced dead at the scene from multiple traumatic injuries.

The Collision Reconstruction Unit is continuing their investigation into this incident. Mount Joy Road, between Gravel Hill Road and Doc Frame Road, was closed for approximately three hours as the crash was investigated and cleared.
