The Delaware State Police are investigating a two-vehicle fatal crash that occurred early Sunday morning in Seaford that left a man and a woman dead.

On October 6, 2024, at approximately 01:34 a.m., a 2016 Nissan Rogue was traveling southbound on Sussex Highway in the left lane, south of Cannon Road. At the same time, a 2005 Honda Pilot was traveling northbound, also in the left southbound lane on Sussex Highway, into the Rogue’s path of travel. As a result, the front of the Rogue struck the front of the Pilot in the left southbound lane of Sussex Highway.

The Rogue’s front passenger, a 22-year-old man from Fayetteville, North Carolina, and the rear right passenger, an 18-year-old woman from Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, were pronounced dead at the scene. Their names are being withheld until their family and relatives are notified. The driver of the Rogue, a 22-year-old man from Washington D.C., and the left rear passenger, an 18-year-old woman from Bethesda, Maryland, were taken to an area hospital for critical injuries.

The driver of the Pilot, a 24-year-old man from Georgetown, Delaware, was taken to an area hospital for serious injuries. Impairment was suspected to be a factor. The Pilot’s passenger, a 40-year-old man from Georgetown, Delaware, was taken to an area hospital for critical injuries.
