A four-vehicle crash in Millsboro left 15 people injured yesterday after a driver ran a red light.

One of those injured was a 40 year old woman from New Castle.

She was flown to Christiana Hospital with serious injuries.

The Wilmington News Journal reports that the accident occurred around noon on Du Pont Boulevard and Dagsboro Road which were closed for an hour and a half.

79 year old Walter Warrington was given a ticket for failing to stop for a red light when he turned into the path of an oncoming mini-van that had nine people in it.

Warrington’s car also struck two other vehicles.

There were four accidents in a single hour in the City of Salisbury this weekend.

Police say two of them occurred on Route 13 near Centre Road while the other pair took place at Route 50 and Truitt Street.

WBOC reports that in both instances the second accidents appeared to occur as drivers slowed down to catch a glimpse of the first accidents.

There were no road closures but traffic was steered around each accident.
