MILLSBORO, Del. - The Delaware State Police are currently investigating a deadly crash that occurred Thursday morning in Millsboro. The person who passed from this incident was 35-year-old Elysia Garin of Laurel.
According to authorities, the incident took place at approximately 6:31 a.m. on February 7, when a 1994 Suzuki Cappuccino was traveling eastbound on Shiloh Church Road, nearing the intersection with Hardscrabble Road.
