Crash on Delaware Memorial Bridge injures 6 in freezing rain

In icy conditions Friday night, a collision involving three vehicles on the Delaware Memorial Bridge led to six individuals being transported to a nearby trauma center, as reported by a local fire company. The Minquadale Fire Company was summoned to the northbound section of the bridge that evening. Rescuers had to extract four individuals from the vehicles, as detailed in a social media update by MFC. These individuals, along with two others, were conveyed to a nearby medical facility. Further information on their conditions is being sought from local authorities. The Minquadale Fire Company noted that the accident occurred at the onset of sleet and freezing rain Friday night. While temperatures plunged below freezing, roads in the vicinity remained slippery overnight and well into Saturday morning. The Delaware Memorial Bridge serves as a vital link for I-295 traffic moving in both northbound and southbound directions between New Jersey and Delaware.
