Georgetown, DE – A 25-year-old Laurel man was killed Thursday evening after a two-vehicle crash shut down part of Lewes-Georgetown Highway east of Gravel Hill Road, according to Delaware State Police.
Police say the collision happened around 6:15 p.m. on October 16, 2025, when a westbound Honda Civic allegedly crossed the center line and struck an eastbound Audi A4 head-on. The impact caused major damage to both vehicles and forced authorities to close the highway for several hours during their investigation.
According to state police, the driver of the Honda, who was not properly restrained, was transported to a nearby hospital where he later died. His identity is being withheld pending family notification. The Audi’s driver, an 18-year-old woman from Hockessin, sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to an area hospital for treatment.
