WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) - January 20, 2009
State transportation department spokesman Jim Westhoff says
crews treated the roads before dawn on Sunday and were sent home
when the weather cleared. They were recalled at 5:30 p.m. but did
not get on the roads until 6 p.m., as roads and bridges were icing
up.
Nearly two dozen crashes forced the closure of I-495 near
Wilmington.
A 26-year-old Georgetown man was killed early Monday morning in
a one-car crash near Harbeson on Route 9 west of Hudson Road. David
Rowe was killed when his car went off the road and hit a tree. The
accident was blamed on snowy conditions.
