DAGSBORO — A Virginia woman was seriously injured Sunday afternoon in a Dagsboro area crash, Delaware State Police said.
State police spokesman Master Cpl. Melissa Jaffe said the incident occurred at 1:01 p.m. when a 2011 Hyundai Veracruz was traveling south in the left lane of southbound DuPont Boulevard (US 113) north of Nine Foot Road (SR 26).

As the Hyundai was traveling southbound, an unidentified vehicle began to enter into its lane from the right side, which caused the driver of the Hyundai to exit the roadway, cross through the center median and into northbound oncoming traffic. The Hyundai struck the Volkswagen and began rotating when it then struck the Honda.
