DOVER, Del. – Delaware State Police are investigating a crash that claimed the life of one and injured another Wednesday afternoon in Dover.

Just before 1 p.m., police say a light green 2003 Subaru Legacy was traveling southbound on Bayside Drive, south of Pickering Beach Road. For unknown reasons, the driver failed to negotiate a left to right curve in the roadway, veering off the road. The driver then overcorrected her steering, causing her car to reenter the road while spinning before veering off the west edge of the roadway, rolling over, and coming to a rest.

The driver, an 18-year-old Woodside woman, was taken to an area hospital by ambulance for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. It is unclear if she was wearing her seatbelt. According to police, the 20-year-old male passenger was not wearing his seatbelt and was pronounced dead at the scene. His identification is pending notification of next of kin.
