Here's your local news at a glance for Monday, the 16th of June.
Good morning, Dover.
🏘️ Community
The Post will host Cruise In @ the Post!! on Wednesday, June 18 from 5:00 PM — 9:00 PM, where riders on two wheels or four will join without needing membership.
Participants are invited at Walter L. Fox — Post on 2835 S Bay Road in Dover.
🚧 Accidents
A recent report shows that teen drivers in Delaware are nearly four times more likely to be in fatal crashes than older drivers—Delaware recorded 14.29 teen-driver fatalities per 100,000 teens in 2022, ranking third worst behind Montana and Wyoming.
🌲 Environment
Delaware remains affected by smoke from a New Jersey forest fire that burned 5500 acres and is 70% contained, so DNREC declared today a Code Orange Air Quality Action Day.
Officials warn those with asthma, lung or heart conditions to limit time outdoors—light winds are keeping the smoke near the ground.
🏛️ Government
DelDOT will raise tolls on all three state roads later this year — drivers on I-95, Route 301 and Route 1 will face increases of at least 25%.
Out-of-state E-ZPass and cash users will pay much more than Delaware drivers as the changes aim to cover a shortfall in fuel tax revenue.
🏈 Sports
Kohen Marvel, a 9-year-old, won the state title at the Delaware Youth Fishing Tournament on June 7 at Akridge Scout Reservation in Kent County by catching 9.53 pounds of fish—over 150 young anglers competed statewide, demonstrating their fishing skills and learning conservation practices.
