MILLSBORO, Del. – Police are investigating a crash that claimed the life of one early Sunday morning in Millsboro.

At around 2:30 a.m., police say a 2006 Toyota Sienna was driving southbound on Millsboro Highway, just north of East Line Road. At the same time, a 2010 Victory motorcycle was driving northbound on Millsboro Highway in the same area. The Toyota reportedly failed to maintain its lane as it navigated a curve in the road, veering into the motorcycle’s path of travel. The vehicle and motorcycle subsequently collided, and the motorcyclist was ejected.

The motorcyclist, a 58-year-old Millsboro man, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the Toyota, a 48-year-old Salisbury man, was not injured. Two passengers of the Toyota were taken to a nearby hospital for non-life-threatening injuries, and a third passenger was not injured.
