MILFORD, Del. (AP) - Delaware State Police are investigating a crash between a car and a truck has killed a longtime Delmarva broadcast news executive.
Police say 76-year-old Thomas H. Draper of Milford was bicycling on Slaughter Beach Road near Milford about 7:30 a.m. Thursday when his bicycle was struck by a pickup truck driven by a 37-year-old Lewes man.
Draper was flown to Shock Trauma in Baltimore, where he died.
