Felton teen killed in single vehicle crash, police investigating

FELTON, Del. – A crash early Tuesday morning claimed the life of a Felton teen.

Just after 2 a.m., police say a Ford-150 was driving westbound on Spectrum Farms Road, approaching Edwardsville Road, when the truck failed to negotiate a curve for unknown reasons. The truck subsequently veered off the road and flipped, and an unrestrained passenger was ejected.

The passenger, a 14-year-old male, was pronounced dead at the scene.

One occupant, a 19-year-old Felton woman, was taken to an area hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. Another occupant, an unknown man, allegedly left the scene before police arrived.

The driver has not been identified.

Police are asking anyone who may have witnessed this crash to contact Master Corporal J. Lane at 302-698-8457 or Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333.
