At approximately 7:20 on the evening of August 1st, emergency crews responded to an SUV and trailer accident just east of Caronport on the #1.

According to the Caronport fire chief, the driver, who had no passengers, lost control of the vehicle while driving in the right lane. The SUV swerved into the left lane before turning 180 degrees and falling into the meridian. 

The elderly driver sustained little to no injuries and remained conscious, though shaken. Paramedics left the scene with an empty ambulance. 

Westbound traffic is expected to be slowed for the next few hours as emergency and tow crews clean the area.

Police are still investigating the exact details of the accident.
