Amid wintry weather conditions Friday night, six people were taken to a nearby trauma center after a crash involving 3 vehicles on the Delaware Memorial Bridge, according to a local fire company.
The Minquadale Fire Company says units were called to the northbound span of the bridge Friday night. Rescue workers had to extricate four people from vehicles, MFC said in a Facebook post.
Those people and two others were taken to a nearby hospital. We've reached out to local authorities for more on their conditions.
Minquadale Fire said the crash occurred "as the sleet and freezing rain started" Friday night.
