A two-vehicle crash on Route 13 near the Route 71 intersection in Townsend left the 18-year-old driver of one car dead Tuesday.
Delaware State Police said in a press release that Ashley Call, 18, of Townsend was killed when attempting to cross Route 13 south of the intersection with Route 71 around 3:41 p.m.
A 2000 Plymouth Neon, operated by Call, was traveling in the right thru lane of Route 13 northbound, approaching the Valero Gas Station at 4296 South DuPont Highway, which is located on the east side of the roadway, the DSP said. The Neon was exiting the Valero gas station and appeared to be crossing over Route 13 northbound in order to travel onto Route southbound.
The Neon pulled out into the roadway in front of a 2002 Dodge Durango, operated by Dawn Barr, 32, of Smyrna, resulting in the collision.
Call was pronounced dead at the scene.
Barr was treated at Christiana Hospital for serious, but non-life threatening injuries.
Both parties were wearing their seatbelts. No charges have been filed and this crash remains under investigation.
