THREE KILLED IN 896 CRASH

Three Middletown residents died after the driver lost control of their car and slammed into three trees by the side of Route 896, a half-mile south of Newark, according to Newark Police.

Christopher L. Shipley, 21, Kimberly Ann Spohn, 20, and Krista Marshall, 18, were all pronounced dead on arrival at Christiana Hospital just before midnight Thursday, police said.

The driver of the car, Jay Brackin Jr., 21, of Townsend, was treated for head and internal injuries and was listed in critical condition Sunday.

A preliminary Delaware State Police investigation suggests the involvement of alcohol in the accident.

Police said Brackin was the only one wearing a seatbelt.

Police gave this account of the crash:

Brackin, who was driving a Pontiac Sunbird at an apparent high rate of speed, tried to pass a truck on the right by going onto the shoulder.

Brackin lost control of the car, and at 10:55 p.m. the car hit three trees in succession before coming to rest.

Spohn and Shipley were ejected from the vehicle upon impact with the third tree.

The vehicle stopped about 40 feet from the first tree trunk.
