UPDATE: Driver cited after multi-vehicle crash in Camden

Police are continuing their investigation into a multi-vehicle crash south of Camden on Wednesday.

Investigators say that around 9:44 a.m. on Wednesday, 66-year-old Calvin Anderson of Gales Ferry, Connecticut, was driving a Freightliner Century ST, pulling a trailer, northbound in the right  lane of South DuPont Highway (US 13) approaching Thomas Harmon Drive (Camden Walmart Entrance.)

Anderson reportedly did not see the traffic in front of him stopping at a red light when he crashed into the back of a trailer being pulled by a Dodge Ram pickup truck. Police say that this in turn caused the Dodge to move forward and strike the back of a Mercedes Benz G.L.K.350.

The tractor trailer then reportedly swerved into the left lane and struck the back of a Ford Escape and then redirected back to the right lane where it struck the trailer and pick up truck again before coming to a stop and bursting into flames.

Calvin Anderson was not hurt in the crash and was cited for inattentive driving. The 29-year-old driver of the Dodge Pickup from Milford was taken to Bay health Kent General Hospital (K.G.H) by EMS where he was treated and released with non life threatening injuries.

The 50-year-old female driver of the Ford Escape from Felton and her two passengers were taken to K.G.H by ambulance and treated for non life threatening injuries.

The 71-year-old female operator of the Mercedes Benz was also taken to K.G.H. and treated for non life threatening injuries.

U.S. 13 northbound lanes opened back up on Wednesday night while Southbound US 13's right lane was closed and remained closed for several more hours while traffic lights were being replaced. Drivers were told to expect delays in the area and find other routes of travel.
