Delaware Man Killed in Car Crash

A Delaware man was killed in a car crash Sunday morning.

Jordan Kershaw, 21, of Dover, was driving a 1990 Mazda Miata westbound on Forest Avenue (SR 8) just east of Cahoon Branch Road, west of Dover at 3:07 a.m.

As Kershaw was driving he crossed the double yellow line and entered the eastbound lane of Forest Avenue, according to investigators. The front left bumper of his vehicle struck the front left bumper of a 2007 Mercury Montego which was being driven by a 75-year-old woman. 

Kershaw was taken to Kent General Hospital where he was later pronounced dead. He was not properly restrained at the time of the crash, investigators said. The woman was not hurt in the accident.

Forest Avenue was closed for about 3 ½ hours as officials investigated the crash.
