Pulaski Highway, Route 896 and Wrangle Hill Road

Three state and federal routes shape driving in Glasgow. US-40, Pulaski Highway, is a four-lane divided road here, and through the commercial stretch its median widens to hold businesses, with Peoples Plaza on the north side. DE-896 meets US-40 at a signalized junction on the eastern edge of Glasgow, then heads north as South College Avenue past Glasgow Park toward its I-95 interchange and Newark, and south as Summit Bridge Road toward the canal. DE-72, Wrangle Hill Road, crosses US-40 in the shopping area east of town.

Intersection and left-turn collisions

Many Glasgow claims begin at a signal or a left turn across oncoming lanes. In April 2024, the Delaware State Police Troop 2 Collision Reconstruction Unit investigated a two-car crash at Wrangle Hill Road and Mabel Lane after a driver turning left collided with a car coming the other way. When fault at a light is disputed, witness names, photos of the scene and video from nearby businesses can decide the claim, so ask for footage promptly.

Drivers from Maryland on US-40

Pulaski Highway crosses the Maryland line just west of Glasgow, so local crashes often involve a Maryland plate. A Glasgow collision is a Delaware collision even when the other car carries Maryland plates. Your own PIP benefits under 21 Del. C. § 2118 come first for medical bills and lost wages, and the balance is pursued against the at-fault driver's coverage. Our page on Delaware crashes with out-of-state drivers explains how that works.

Who writes the report, and where you are treated

Depending on the road and the severity, a Glasgow crash report may be written by Delaware State Police or by New Castle County Police, whose patrol squads provide 24-hour coverage throughout the county. The trauma hospital serving this area is ChristianaCare's Christiana Hospital near Newark. If a Glasgow case is filed, it goes to the Superior Court at the Justice Center in Wilmington.

Frequently Asked Questions

I was hurt at the Route 896 and Pulaski Highway intersection. Which police agency handles it?

Serious crashes at Glasgow intersections have been investigated by the Delaware State Police Troop 2 Collision Reconstruction Unit, and New Castle County Police also patrol the area. Ask the officer at the scene which agency is writing the report, and keep the report number so we can request a copy.

How far is the Bear office from Glasgow?

About 5 miles east on US-40. Meetings there are by appointment.

The driver who hit me in Glasgow lives in Maryland. Can I bring a Delaware claim?

Yes, in most cases. A crash in Glasgow is a Delaware crash, so Delaware law generally applies, your own Delaware PIP pays first, and the remaining claim goes against the Maryland driver's insurer.

I waited a few months after my Glasgow crash. Is it too late?

Often not. Delaware generally allows two years for an injury claim under 10 Del. C. § 8119, but some claims require earlier notice, so call before more time passes.
