Three killed after car crash in Minquadale

Three people were killed after a head-on car crash in Minquadale, Delaware on Tuesday morning.

The crash took place when a 56-year-old identified as Barbara Temple was driving with a 57-year-old identified as Levern Laws Jr. in the passenger seat in a 2009 black Kia Sorento on the unit block of Memorial Drive at 9:30 a.m.

Temple drove through the raised median in the center of the road twice. The first time, the car returned to its original lane. But the second time the Sorento crossed the median, it struck a red Ford Escape driven by a 57-year-old identified as Angela Weeks, head-on.

Weeks succumbed to her injuries at Christiana Medical Center.

Both people in the Sorrento were pronounced dead on the scene.

The crash is under investigation by New Castle County Police Department.
