LONG NECK, Del. – Delaware State Police arrested a Millsboro man on drunken driving, drug and traffic charges following a crash that injured three children on Sept. 27.

The accident occurred on Friday, September 27, at around 7:30 p.m. According to authorities, a Chevrolet Silverado was stopped at a red light on southbound Indian Mission Road at John J. Williams Highway. A Kia K5, a Ford F-150 and a BMW X7 were stopped behind the Silverado. A Mercedes GLE, driven by Judson Wall of Millsboro, was approaching the stopped vehicles at an unsafe speed when it struck the side of the BMW and Ford. The front of the Mercedes then hit the rear of the Kia, pushing it into the Silverado.

The driver of the Kia, a 39-year-old man, was uninjured. However, a 6-year-old passenger in the Kia was taken to an area hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. Two other children, ages 9 and 12, were also taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

When troopers arrived, they noticed signs of impairment in Wall and administered standardized field sobriety tests. After testing, Wall was taken into custody without incident. A search of Wall and his belongings uncovered nearly 50 grams of marijuana. Wall was uninjured in the crash.

The occupants of the Silverado, F-150 and BMW were not injured.

He was arraigned in Justice of the Peace Court 2 and sent to Sussex Correctional Institution on $7,004 bail.
