A 66-year-old Lewes man died Oct. 13 after police say he drove off Stockley Road near Milton and crashed into a tree.
The crash happened at 12:13 a.m. when, police said, Sherman Jackson was speeding eastbound on Stockley Road west of Beaver Dam Road and his Toyota Corolla veered off the south side of the road and struck a mailbox in the 29000 block. The car continued through the front yard of a home, and then crashed into a tree, police said. Jackson was not wearing a seatbelt, police said, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
