Bicycle Crashes in Delaware’s Rural Intersections
Even crashes resulting in minor injuries—such as Monday’s collision on Beaver Dam Rd—highlight the ongoing vulnerability of cyclists navigating Delaware’s rural and suburban roads. Intersections like the one at Dairy Farm Rd often have limited shoulder space, few marked crossings, and varying visibility due to foliage or road curvature.
While the quick response by local fire crews and medics ensured the situation was under control, the incident serves as a reminder of the risks cyclists face when sharing the road with larger vehicles. The presence of Trooper 2, though ultimately not needed, reflects the importance of rapid preparedness for potentially serious outcomes.
Public safety officials encourage both cyclists and drivers to exercise caution on roads without designated bike lanes. Wearing high-visibility gear, signaling intentions, and reducing speed in shared zones are key to preventing collisions.
