HARRINGTON — A 21-year-old Bridgeville man was arrested on multiple criminal and traffic charges following an early morning crash Sunday.

Delaware State Police spokeswoman Master Cpl. Heather Pepper said Brandon L. Palmer was contacted at approximately 4:10 a.m. after a single-vehicle crash on U.S. 13 in the area of Winkler Road in Harrington. He was the sole occupant of a 2021 Nissan Versa, police said, and a strong odor of marijuana was allegedly detected coming from the vehicle. As a result, a criminal investigation ensued, according to authorities.
