The signal where Route 24 crosses US-113

Two highways cross in the middle of Millsboro: Delaware Route 24 and US-113, DuPont Boulevard. US-113 carries traffic north toward Georgetown and south toward Dagsboro and the Maryland line.

Red-light collisions at that signal show up in local reports. In June 2024 a southbound driver on Route 113 ran the red light and hit a westbound pickup crossing the intersection, knocking out the signal controls; both drivers were taken to the hospital. In December 2023, just after 12:30 a.m., Millsboro police investigated another collision at the same corner between a car crossing Route 113 and a southbound car. When the color of the light is disputed, witnesses, dashcam or business video and the damage to both vehicles are what decide fault, so ask for any footage as soon as you can.

Millsboro Police and Delaware State Police

Crashes inside town are typically handled by the Millsboro Police Department. Delaware State Police investigate serious collisions on the highways around town, including a three-vehicle fatal crash in Millsboro in May 2026. The report number and the name of the investigating agency let us request photos, measurements and witness statements.

Emergency rooms and the Georgetown courthouse

Beebe Healthcare has two emergency departments: the Level III trauma center at its Margaret H. Rollins Lewes Campus and the South Coastal Emergency Department on Roxana Road near Millville, which is open 24 hours. Millsboro is in Sussex County, so a Superior Court lawsuit over a crash here goes to the Sussex County Courthouse in Georgetown.

Who investigates a crash at Route 24 and Route 113 in Millsboro?

A disputed light is decided on evidence: independent witnesses, video from nearby businesses or dashcams, the police diagram and where each vehicle was damaged. Delaware's comparative negligence rule, 10 Del. C. § 8132, reduces a recovery by your share of fault and bars it only if your fault is greater than the other side's.
