Harry Brown Death; Victim Identified in Deadly Single-Vehicle Smyrna Crash

A Magnolia man was killed when a dump truck crashed in Smyrna on Wednesday morning, according to the Delaware State Police.

According to police, a dump truck was going south on Korean War Veterans Memorial Highway (Rt 1) approaching the East Commerce Street overpass just before 9:40 a.m. on February 26 when one of its tires exploded. The blown tire forced the dump truck to veer off the right side of the road and into an embankment before flipping.

The truck driver, 63-year-old Harry Brown of Magnolia, was transferred to a neighboring hospital but died from his injuries.

Delaware State Police are still investigating the crash and ask that any witnesses call 302-698-8451.
