A 1998 Ford Ranger (operated by William Revels, 57, of Wilmington, Delaware) was traveling Route 13 southbound and entered the left turn lane for Stahl Avenue. This driver was presented with a blinking red light.
Traffic in the left two lanes, of the three, for Route 13 northbound were stopped due to congestion. A 2004 Dodge Ram pick up (operated by Jeffrey Deangelo, 19, of Wilmington, Delaware) was traveling Route 13 northbound in the right lane.

Mr. Revels was trapped in his vehicle for 30 – 45 minutes until he was extricated by emergency personnel. He was transported from the scene to Christiana Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Mr. Revels was cited with Failure to Yield the Right of Way.
