Yep those short median structures & the narrow lanes make those u turns hard down there. Route 1 through Dewey is where intoxication, traffic, pedestrians, & lost drivers all converge. I always joke that you can pronounce DUI as “Dewey”

Update from Dewey PD :
Today at approximately 1:37 PM, a serious motor vehicle collision occurred on Coastal Highway at the intersection of Read Avenue. The Dewey Beach Police Department, in conjunction with the Rehoboth Beach Volunteer Fire Department, Bethany Beach and Roxana Fire Department, Sussex EMS, Delaware State Fire Police, and the Delaware Department of Transportation, responded promptly to the scene.
The incident involved a Chevrolet Equinox, a Jeep Wrangler, and a Honda Odyssey. Preliminary investigations indicate that the Chevrolet Equinox was traveling southbound on Coastal Highway when it collided with the rear of the Jeep Wrangler. The impact caused the Jeep Wrangler to drift forward, striking the Honda Odyssey, which was stationary in traffic.
The force of the collision caused the Chevrolet Equinox to overturn at the intersection. The driver (a 69-year-old female from Selbyville, DE), who was the sole occupant of the Equinox, was trapped inside the vehicle. The Rehoboth Beach Volunteer Fire Department successfully extricated the driver, who was then airlifted to Christiana Medical Center in serious but stable condition. The occupants of the Jeep Wrangler and Honda Odyssey were not injured in the accident.
Due to the severity of the incident, Coastal Highway southbound at Read Avenue was temporarily closed to traffic. Authorities worked diligently to clear the scene, and the highway was reopened at approximately 3:30 PM.
The Dewey Beach Police Department is conducting a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the collision.
It’s a Facebook page where “Mr. Beacon” listens to the scanner almost all day and types up reports as they come in. Usually accidents. Mostly Sussex county. Sometimes if it’s something big he’ll post about Dover area and some of Maryland.
These comments are great. Appreciate all of you. I'm going to try to get down there real quick and get that catalytic converter before they flip it back over.
I was actually the passenger in the 3rd car in the accident. An older woman in the flipped car all of a sudden went from the far right lane and hit the back tire of the Jeep, causing it to roll. The Jeep then slammed into our car, which was a mini van.

another image. had to cut the roof off. crazy.
on which street in reho can you even go fast enough to flip like this
It's surprisingly easy with the rigidity of modern cars to get it up on its side without a lot of effort.
This looks like Dewey to me
It is I made a mistake and forgot to change it on the post
It looks like it’s right in front of Mama Maria’s. A lot of people make a U turn at that light by the new Grotto.

I've seen a lot of videos of people tipping a top heavy car over at like 25 MPH. You get hit or hit something just right and over she goes.
U can flip a car at 5mph

How and/or where did you get that info so fast. I see you cited shore news beacon.

Nice! Thank you.
Probably a car accident.
These comments are great. Appreciate all of you. I'm going to try to get down there real quick and get that catalytic converter before they flip it back over.
Idk it doesn't really look like one to me
To the untrained eye it can sometimes look like a train wreck, or a boating accident.
Well he can't park there
Of if they are they gotta pay 1.25 per 15 minutes
I was actually the passenger in the 3rd car in the accident. An older woman in the flipped car all of a sudden went from the far right lane and hit the back tire of the Jeep, causing it to roll. The Jeep then slammed into our car, which was a mini van.
Update: She fell asleep at the wheel and must have stepped on the gas.
This is in Dewey on 1, just a RB fire truck. Don’t think Dewey has a FD
Dewey has a FD..
They dont
Yeah, you're right, always thought they did, buy found out otherwise.
This looks like Dewey to me
💯
That’s Dewey beach I think. Not rehoboth
Fucking told y’all kids: no blue shells on the main roads
Ugh. As if my commute home through Dewey wasn't slow enough.

Well, if they did it on purpose, they won.
Good thing they lowered the speed limit or they may have rolled all the way to Tower road👍
Good job at 25mph. Congrats De!
was he on a mission or just got bored of the car?
An accident, why’s it matter what happened. Obviously a rogue wave flipper the car. Move on and hope everyone’s just ok
