WOODSIDE — A 33-year-old Maryland man died in a two-vehicle crash on Wednesday, Delaware State Police said.

Authorities said that at approximately 2:20 a.m., a Freightliner tractor-trailer was driving southbound on South Dupont Highway, in the right lane, south of Barney Jenkins Road. At the same time, a GMC T-Series box truck was also driving southbound, in the right lane, behind the Freightliner, police said.

The preliminary investigation revealed that the Freightliner was slowing to make a right turn into a business when the front of the GMC hit the back of the trailer, police said.

Police said the unrestrained driver of the GMC, from Owings Mills, was pronounced dead at the scene. His name is being withheld until his family is notified.

Police said the driver of the Freightliner, a 51-year-old man from Greensboro, North Carolina was not injured.

The roadway was closed for approximately five hours while the scene was investigated and cleared.
