Bear, DE (October 11, 2024) – A significant traffic accident occurred on Route 1 northbound just before Tybouts Corner, leading to extensive delays in the area on Thursday, October 10. The incident was reported early in the morning, causing traffic to back up beyond Route 72 as drivers sought alternate routes.
Emergency responders were called to the scene around 7:55 AM, indicating that the crash involved injuries, which necessitated additional emergency equipment. As a result, delays extended back to the Roth Bridge, creating a challenging situation for motorists.
By 8:05 AM, all traffic was being diverted to the northbound jug handle of Route 1 to alleviate congestion. However, at 8:20 AM, an additional accident was reported on the Roth Bridge, further complicating the traffic situation and causing delays that stretched back to the Biddles Corner toll plaza.
Fortunately, by 8:35 AM, the initial crash had cleared, allowing traffic to resume normal flow.
Our thoughts are with those involved in this incident, and we hope for a swift recovery for anyone injured.
