A 71-year-old Frankford woman was killed and three other people were hurt in a two-vehicle crash Monday morning in Millsboro, Delaware State Police said.
The crash happened around 7 a.m. on November 9 on Laurel Road, just east of Lowes Crossing Road. Police said Kathleen Reed was driving a Chevrolet Equinox west on Laurel Road and approaching a right-hand curve when, for reasons still under investigation, the Equinox failed to stay in its lane and moved into the path of an eastbound Volkswagen Passat.
Reed was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Passat’s driver, a 26-year-old man from Seaford, was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries. A 12-year-old girl riding in the Equinox and a 28-year-old man riding in the Passat were also taken to hospitals with serious injuries. State police said one of the patients was flown by Delaware State Police Aviation to Christiana Hospital.
