Weekend Crash Seriously Injures One and Leaves Police Searching for Another Released Monday, August 18, 2008 Ellendale – The Delaware State Police are investigating a serious crash that injured a 15 year old boy early Sunday morning. Troopers responded to the area of Saw Mill Road south of Pine Road near Ellendale at approximately 4:30 am on Sunday, August 17 for a reported single vehicle crash. When troopers arrived, they discovered a severely damaged Ford Escort off the west side of the roadway alongside a tree. The investigation determined that the Ford Escort was travelling southbound on Saw Mill road when it entered a sharp left curve and failed to negotiate the turn. It left the west edge of the road and struck a tree. Troopers learned two of the three occupants were transported to Milford Hospital by family members prior to police arrival. There, they identified the operator, Irvin Hernandez, 17 of Georgetown and a passenger, Isac Gutierrez, 15 of Laurel. Troopers did contact these subjects and learned Isac had suffered severe injuries and was later flown to Christiana Hosipital where he was admitted. Investigators also learned a third passenger, Jose L. Roblero, 18 of Georgetown was also injured in the crash. Apparently, when family members arrived to take the other two to the hospital, Roblero – who had a laceration on his head, refused to go to the hospital and walked away from the scene. Investigators have learned that Roblero has not returned home since the crash and are concerned for his welfare because of the injury he reportedly sustained. Police have listed Roblero as a missing person after checking the area of the crash with K-9’s, troopers and a DSP helicopter. Roblero is 5’o7” tall, 140 lbs, medium skin tone, brown eyes and black hair. He was last seen wearing tan blue jeans, white hoodie, orange and white Nike sneakers. Because of the crash, Mr. Hernandez was arrested for Vehicular Assault 2nd, Driving without a License and other traffic offenses. He was released on a $250.00 unsecured bond and turned over to his parents. Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Jose L. Roblero is asked to call investigators at Troop 7 at644.5020 or Crime Stoppers at 1.800.TIP.3333. |
