DEWEY BEACH, Del. — A 25-year-old Dewey Beach police officer sustained minor injuries after a crash on Coastal Highway Sunday evening.

The incident occurred around 6:14 p.m. on February 9, when a Honda Odyssey, traveling south in the center lane on Coastal Highway in Rehoboth Beach, approached a red light at the intersection of Coastal Highway and John J. Williams Highway.

At the same time, a fully marked Dewey Beach Police Department Chevrolet Tahoe, driven by the officer, was turning left onto John J. Williams Highway from the northbound lanes of Coastal Highway. The Honda failed to stop for the red light and continued through the intersection, striking the front right side of the police vehicle.

The 25-year-old officer was evaluated at the scene for minor injuries, according to the Delaware State Police (DSP). Lieutenant Clifford Dempsey from the Dewey Beach Police Department confirmed the officer was “OK.”

The 70-year-old driver of the Honda, a Milton resident, was not injured in the crash. DSP cited the driver for failing to stop at the red light. The Delaware State Police are investigating the incident.

While the officer was treated for minor injuries, the incident highlights the importance of following traffic signals, and the DSP has called for greater caution at the intersection. This marks the second crash involving a Dewey Beach police officer in less than a year, with the department urging drivers to remain vigilant and obey traffic laws to ensure the safety of officers and others on the road.
