BRIDGEVILLE, Del. (AP) - Delaware State Police are investigating whether somebody intentionally threw a street sign into the middle of a road shortly before a driver crashed while trying to avoid it.
A truck driver was heading east on Federalsburg Road near Bridgeville when he approached an intersection and found a stop sign post lying in the middle of the street, Delaware State Police said in a statement last week. The driver, a 32-year-old man from Seaford, swerved to avoid the sign but ran into a ditch and overturned, according to the statement. He was taken to a hospital with serious injuries, the agency said.
The stop sign appeared to have been pulled from its location and intentionally thrown into the road before the driver crashed on Thursday night, State Police said. The agency added that it has recently been notified of two other signs being removed from the ground and thrown into the roadway nearby as well.
