DOVER, DE : Two-vehicle crash left a 24-year-old man dead and one person injured on Thursday, July 6, 2017

A Thursday afternoon two-vehicle crash left a 24-year-old man dead and one person injured, according to Racine County Sheriff Christopher Schmaling.

At 3:45 p.m., a rescue call came in for a crash in the 22220 block of Washington Avenue (Highway 20), just west of Britton Road in Dover. The crash site is roughly halfway between Highway 45 North and Highway 75.

Racine County sheriff’s deputies shut down Highway 20 from Britton Road to Beaumont Avenue (Highway 75) during the crash investigation.

Racine County Sheriff’s Lt. David Kinservik said the initial investigation indicated a red 2009 Toyota Corolla was eastbound on Highway 20. When the vehicle started to travel onto the gravel shoulder, the driver lost control.

That’s when the red car was T-boned by a black Lexus SUV traveling west on Highway 20. The force of the crash sent the red car off the roadway, killing the driver. The driver of the SUV sustained a leg injury and was transported to a local hospital in an ambulance. The driver’s condition was not available as of Thursday night, but the driver is expected to survive, sheriff’s officials said.

It’s unclear what caused the 24-year-old driver to veer off onto the shoulder. The investigation is still ongoing, officials said.
