A 58-year-old man from New Hampshire was charged Sunday following a fatal wreck with a tractor-trailer that killed his passenger, Delaware State Police said.
According to police, around 4 a.m., the man was driving a Ford Focus south on I-95 near the Route 896 off-ramp below the speed limit when a tractor-trailer passed him on the left.
Shortly after the tractor-trailer moved over one lane, the driver of the Ford also moved into the same lane. The tractor-trailer hit the Ford from behind.
Both vehicles later stopped on the I-95 off-ramp to Route 896. Neither the driver of the Ford nor his passenger, whom police have not yet identified, was wearing a seat belt.
