 I'm Peter McArthur, WDEL News. Two people dead after the car they were in ran off of Sussex County Road and caught fire Monday night. Delaware State Troopers say the crash on Gills Neck Road in Lewis happened about 11.30 p.m. Investigators say the sedan was speeding, ran off the roadway and hit a wall, a tree and a fence, then caught fire with flames spreading to a nearby house. The home's occupants got out safely. The car's occupants did not. They were pronounced dead at the scene.
