DOVER, DE – Delaware State Police are investigating a fatal two-car collision that left a 70-year-old man dead Saturday afternoon in Dover.

The crash happened around 3:30 p.m. on Dyke Branch Road, west of Wheel of Fortune Road. Investigators said a Honda Accord heading east failed to stay in its lane, crossing into westbound traffic. A Volvo S40 traveling in the opposite direction swerved left in an attempt to avoid impact, but the Honda re-entered the eastbound lane, leading to a head-on collision.

The driver of the Honda, a 70-year-old Dover man who was not wearing a seatbelt, was taken to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead. His name is being withheld pending family notification.
