The wider storm
A high pressure ridge that extended from the southeastern United States into Delaware provided the light winds and trapped low level moisture near the ground for black ice to form in Sussex County on the morning of the 28th. The black ice was a contributing factor in a fatal accident that occurred in the Harbeson area that morning. A 44-year-old man died after he failed to negotiate a turn at the intersection of Beaver Dam and Indian Mission Roads and struck a Millsboro V.F.D. ambulance. In the ambulance, the 32-year-old driver, 41-year-old paramedic and 47-year-old ambulance attendant all suffered injuries. The intersection was closed for six hours.
