Delaware: State Police Investigate Double Fatal near Little Creek; Speed & Booze Likely Cause

Delaware Troopers are investigating a single vehicle crash that killed two Dover men.

The incident occurred at approximately 7:05 p.m. Monday July 21, 2014 as Benjamin W. Hibbler, 26 of Dover, was operating a 2001 Chevrolet flatbed tow truck (AA Towing & Rollback Service Inc.) northbound on Bayside Drive (SR9) north of North Little Creek Road.

As the vehicle entered a left curve, its right side tires traveled off the east edge of the roadway and due to its apparent high rate of speed, the truck began to rotate and cross both lanes of travel while spinning in a counter-clockwise motion.

A prosecutor was not there for the case, and Delaware Department of Justice spokesman Jason Miller said the Attorney General’s Office does not normally prosecute first-offense DUI cases heard in Justice of the Peace Court.
