The second vehicle was a 2000 Chevrolet Impala operated by Chastity M. Thompson, 26, of Laurel, Del. There were no passengers in the Impala, police said.
Vincent was transported to Peninsula Regional Medical Center where he was pronounced dead. Britt’s condition is unknown.
Thompson was transported to PRMC also and is being treated for injuries. No one has been charged in the accident at this time.
