Greenville, DE (May 13, 2025) – A serious two-vehicle collision involving multiple injuries and confirmed entrapment occurred Saturday afternoon at the intersection of Kennett Pike and Stone Brook Dr in Greenville. Emergency crews were dispatched at approximately 4:35 p.m., initiating a large-scale medical response due to the severity of the crash.
Upon arrival, first responders encountered two heavily damaged vehicles with individuals trapped inside. Crews from Cranston Heights Fire Company, Five Points Fire Company, Belvedere Fire Company, and New Castle County Paramedics immediately began extrication and triage efforts. Delaware State Police Aviation also responded to assist with emergency air transport.
Due to the number of injured parties, command on scene requested four ambulances and an additional medic unit. In total, four individuals were transported to Christiana Hospital in Stanton with injuries ranging from serious to critical:
- An approximately 80-year-old male was transported by Belvedere Fire Company ambulance accompanied by New Castle County Paramedics. He sustained serious extremity and potential internal injuries.
- A 20-year-old male suffered serious abdominal and internal trauma. He was transported by Five Points Fire Company ambulance with paramedics on board.
- A 21-year-old female sustained serious extremity, chest, and possible internal injuries. She was taken to the hospital via Cranston Heights Fire Company ambulance.
- A 77-year-old female, critically injured with head, extremity, and internal injuries, was extricated from the vehicle and airlifted by DSP Aviation to Christiana Hospital.
The intersection was closed for an extended period as medics treated patients and police initiated a full investigation into the crash. Delaware State Police are continuing to review evidence and determine contributing factors.
Our hearts are with the victims and their families, and we wish all four individuals a safe and complete recovery.
Entrapment Crashes in Delaware
Crashes involving entrapment are among the most complex and dangerous emergency incidents, particularly when multiple patients require extraction and transport—as seen in Saturday’s devastating collision on Kennett Pike. In these scenarios, injury severity is often higher due to the force required to pin occupants inside vehicles, and time is a critical factor in survival outcomes.
Kennett Pike is a heavily traveled roadway through the Greenville area, connecting local and regional traffic across northern New Castle County. At intersections like Stone Brook Dr, visibility, speed, and traffic flow all play a role in crash likelihood. This area’s suburban setting can sometimes give drivers a false sense of security, but when a collision does occur, response time and coordination are vital.
Saturday’s crash showcases the importance of a well-coordinated multi-agency response. The use of air transport by DSP Aviation, the presence of multiple fire companies, and advanced care by New Castle County Paramedics all contributed to the immediate stabilization and transfer of critically injured individuals.
For the victims, the road to recovery may include surgeries, extended hospitalization, rehabilitation, and emotional trauma. In the aftermath, understanding your medical, legal, and financial options becomes essential. Access to support networks, expert guidance, and trusted resources can make all the difference.
