Delaware State Police have arrested 26-year-old Damiean Turner of East New Market, Maryland, for firearm and traffic-related offenses.

On February 26, 2023, at approximately 8:34 a.m., a trooper was dispatched to Seaford Road north of Morgan Branch Drive for a single motor vehicle accident. The investigation revealed that a Chevrolet Equinox was traveling northbound on Seaford Road before it exited the east edge of the roadway and struck a guardrail. Damiean Turner, who showed signs of impairment, was identified as the sole occupant and driver of the Equinox.
