Motorcyclist killed in Seaford crash

SEAFORD, DE – A 59-year-old man was killed in a crash Saturday night while riding in the southbound lane of Front Street in Seaford.

According to police, at around 7:30 pm, a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 2500, operated by a 33-year-old male, was traveling northbound on North Market Street, attempting to make a left turn to continue traveling northbound on North Market Street at a Y-intersection.

“At the time, a 1997 Harley-Davidson Road King motorcycle, operated by a 59-year-old male of Hebron, MD, was traveling southbound on South Front Street, entering the intersection of North Market Street. For unknown reasons, the Chevrolet turned left directly in front of the Harley Davidson. As a result, the front left of the Chevrolet struck the left front of the Harley, ejecting the operator,” the Delaware State Police said.

The motorcyclist was transported to an area hospital where he was pronounced deceased. The 33-year-old male operator of the Chevrolet was not injured.

The man’s identity was not immediately released.
