The crash happened early Sunday in southbound lanes as a Ford Focus traveled in the right thru lane at speeds below the posted speed limit, Delaware State Police said in a news release.
A tractor trailer approaching the Ford from behind, changed lanes to move past the slower vehicle, but moments later the Ford moved over too, right into the tractor trailer’s path, police said.
