It was just after 6:30 on a Tuesday evening, the kind of routine December night where most people are thinking about dinner or finishing up their holiday shopping. Tyler Wright, a 24-year-old local guy from Delmar, was heading westbound on Bacons Road in his Toyota Tundra. He was on a stretch of road he had likely driven hundreds of times before, but in a matter of seconds, everything changed. For reasons investigators are still trying to piece together, Tyler’s truck missed a curve, left the pavement, and struck a single utility pole with devastating force.
The impact was so violent that the heavy pickup truck flipped multiple times before finally coming to a rest. By the time the flashing lights of the first responders arrived and cut through the dark, the scene was grim. Despite their best efforts, there was nothing they could do to save Tyler. He was pronounced dead right there at the scene, leaving behind a community and a family who are now struggling to make sense of a life cut far too short.
Right now, the Delaware State Police Collision Reconstruction Unit is leading the charge to find answers. They are looking at every inch of that crash site, measuring skid marks and examining the wreckage of the Tundra. So far, they haven’t found evidence of other vehicles being involved, and no charges have been filed. It’s a quiet, lonely kind of tragedy—one vehicle, one driver, and a lot of unanswered questions that have left his loved ones in a painful state of limbo.
Master Corporal R. Albert is the lead investigator on the case, and he’s not leaving anything to chance. The police are asking anyone who might have been on Bacons Road that night to think back. Maybe you saw the Tundra before the crash, or maybe you noticed something unusual on the road earlier that evening. Even the smallest detail could be the key to helping the Wright family understand why Tyler’s truck veered off the asphalt. If you know anything, you can reach the investigators directly at (302) 703-3266.
In the days since the accident, the town of Delmar has shown exactly what it means to be a tight-knit community. Neighbors have rallied around the Wright family, setting up meal trains and filling social media with tributes to a young man who was clearly well-loved. It’s heartwrenching to see the community come together under these circumstances, but it shows just how much Tyler meant to those around him. People are sharing stories of his kindness and his spirit, trying to keep his memory alive while the investigation continues.
Still, the “why” of it all hangs heavy over the town. Was it a momentary distraction, a mechanical failure like a blown tire, or just a tragic error on a tricky curve? The utility pole on Bacons Road still stands, now a silent marker of where Tyler’s journey ended. For his family, the grief is compounded by the mystery of those final seconds. They are waiting for the police to finish their work, hoping that the reconstruction of the crash will eventually bring some form of closure to an impossible situation.
For now, Bacons Road remains a somber reminder of how quickly life can shift. A young man with his whole future ahead of him is gone, and a family is left to navigate the holidays with an empty seat at the table. As the investigation moves forward, the hope is that someone will come forward with the information needed to bridge the gap between a routine drive home and a tragedy that has shaken Delmar to its core.
