Jun 28, 2026
Delaware Sen. Chris Coons was taken to the hospital and treated for what his office called minor injuries after a multi-car crash on Sunday.
“Earlier today, a Delaware driver experienced a medical incident and collided with several cars, including one in which Senator Coons was a passenger,”
his office said in a statement. “Senator Coons was transported to Beebe Hospital and treated for minor injuries. He is now home and expected to make a full and swift recovery.”
The exact nature of his injuries were not disclosed.
Officials have also not yet released the status of the other people involved in the crash or where exactly it took place, but Coons’ office did thank the Lewes Police Department and other nearby first responders.
“Senator Coons is deeply grateful to the first responders for their prompt and professional response, including the Lewes Police Department, Lewes and Rehoboth Fire Departments, and Sussex County Emergency Medical Services, as well as the capable doctors and nurses at Beebe Hospital, where he received excellent care. He feels relieved and blessed that by all accounts no one was seriously injured during the crash.”
