BRIDGEVILLE, Del. - A Monday morning crash involving a pick-up truck
and a chicken truck, remains under investigation in Bridgeville.
According
to Delaware State Police, 64-year-old Milton resident, Clarence Fisher
Jr., was driving his pick-up truck on Oak Road coming up to Redden Road,
when he apparently didn't stop at the stop sign, and hit the side of a
Mountaire Farms semi-tractor trailer in the intersection.
The
semi, which was full of live chickens, then reportedly swerved, which
caused it to overturn onto the road. Police say that the pick-up truck
spun into an electrical pole, before finally stopping on the grass.
Fisher,
who was wearing a seat belt, had to be flown to Christiana Medical
Center, where he is currently listed in critical condition. His
45-year-old passenger was treated for non-life-threatening injures at
PRMC, and was later released. The driver of the semi, was wearing his
seat belt, and didn't need medical attention.
The crash is still
under investigation, but Troopers say that alcohol don't appear to be a
factor. Redden Road between Deer Forest Road and Chaplains Chapel Road
was shut down for around five and a half hours, while officials
investigated and cleared the scene.
