Delaware State Police have arrested 39-year-old Kevin Graves of Fort Washington, Maryland following a crash that occurred Sunday night in Rehoboth Beach.

On October 13, 2024, at approximately 6:37 p.m., a trooper on patrol saw a white Ford Flex speeding southbound on Coastal Highway near Sylvan Acres Road with no headlights on. The trooper pulled the car over and spoke to the driver, identified as Kevin Graves. When the trooper returned to his vehicle, the Flex sped away from the traffic stop and a pursuit ensued. The trooper quickly lost sight of the Flex and terminated the pursuit for the safety of other motorists. The Flex was later seen travelling southbound on Coastal Highway driving recklessly and at a high rate of speed, with no headlights on, when it crashed into four vehicles that were stopped for the red light at Coastal Highway and Miller Road. After the crash, Graves fled the scene on foot, troopers searched the area but were unable to locate him. Later in the evening, troopers found Graves near the crash scene, and he was ultimately taken into custody after resisting arrest.

An occupant in one of the vehicles hit by Graves, an 18-year-old woman from Georgetown, Delaware, was taken to an area hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. No one else was injured as a result of the crash.

Graves was taken to Troop 7, where he was charged with the crimes listed below, arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 7, and committed to Sussex Correctional Institution on a $4,700 secured bond.
