A 51-year-old woman was killed in a three-car crash in Delmar early Monday morning.
Around 6:15 a.m., a 1998 Chevrolet Monte Carlo being driven by a 19-year-old Seaford man was traveling south on Sussex Highway (Route 13), just south of Snake Road, according to Delaware State Police.
For unknown reasons, police said, the Monte Carlo crossed the grass median and entered into the northbound lanes of Sussex Highway, where it collided with an oncoming Toyota Camry driven by the Delmar woman. Both cars spun, and the Monte Carlo then collided with the front of a third vehicle, a Chevrolet Impala driven by a 64-year-old Salisbury, Maryland, man that was behind the Camry, according to police.

The driver of the Monte Carlo was taken to a hospital in critical condition. The driver of the Camry was pronounced dead at a hospital. Police will identify her after her family is notified.
The driver of the Impala and a passenger in the Camry were both taken to hospitals for non-life-threatening injuries. Sussex Highway was closed for about four hours while the crash was cleared and investigated.
