A two-vehicle crash shortly before 1 a.m. Friday morning left one person dead and the interstate closed for about six hours, Delaware State Police said.
Troopers were called to I-95 south near Churchmans Road at about 12:45 a.m. for the wreck between a Nissan Sentra and a tractor-trailer-type truck.
On scene, troopers determined the truck hit the Nissan, which was stopped in a center lane “for unknown reasons.” The impact pushed the Nissan into the right lane, where it stopped. The driver of the truck pulled to the left shoulder, police said.
