Deadly Crash: Car Carrier Jackknifes, Blocks Delaware County Road

A deadly crash along a busy Delaware County road left a big rig across the highway for hours during the Thursday morning rush.

The car carrier jackknifed as it collided with a Jeep Wrangler in the eastbound lanes of Route 322 (Conchester Highway) near Interstate 95 in Upper Chichester around 5:20 a.m., Upper Chichester Township police said.

Police didn't reveal which driver died.
