Trooper involved crash under investigation in Clayton

CLAYTON, Del. – Delaware State Police are investigating a crash involving a State Trooper that happened Tuesday morning.

Police say at around 7 a.m., a black Chevrolet Tahoe was traveling eastbound on Millington Road towards Jewel Drive in foggy conditions, with its running lights activated but not its head lamps. An unmarked divisional issued silver Chevrolet Tahoe was travelling westbound on Millington Road, nearly stopped, preparing to turn left into a driveway in the 1800 block for a domestic related complaint. In front of the unmarked Tahoe was a marked divisional issued Tahoe that had just turned left into the driveway. This caused the driver of the black Tahoe to swerve from the eastbound lane, partially entering the westbound lane, where it hit the unmarked Tahoe head on.

Police say neither DSP vehicles had their emergency equipment activated.

The driver of the black Tahoe, a 36-year-old Dover man, was taken to a nearby hospital where he was treated for minor injuries and released.

The Trooper who was driving the unmarked Tahoe was also taken to a nearby hospital for treatment of minor injuries.
