28-Year-Old Dies in Delaware Crash

A Harrington man died in a crash along Hopkins Cemetery Road in Felton on Saturday morning

Police in Delaware are investigating after an early morning crash left a 28-year-old man dead in Felton.

According to police, just before 2 a.m., on Saturday, officers responded to a crash along Hopkins Cemetery Road at the intersection of Fox Hunters Road, where a black 1998 Dodge Ram had overturned.

The truck, police said, was likely approaching a curve at a high rate of speed when the driver lost control of the vehicle, causing it to spin and exit the north side of the roadway before it overturned.

On Monday, officials identified the driver of the vehicle as Branden Blackson, 28, of Harrington, Delaware.

Officials said Blackson sustained critical injuries in the crash and, officers said, he was pronounced on the scene.

No other vehicles were involved in the collision, investigators said.
