The pickup came to rest upright in a corn field.
A 41-year-old Greenwood man was taken by ambulance to Bayhealth Milford Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His name was withheld by police pending notification of next of kin.
A 22-year-old Greenwood woman was taken by ambulance to Milford Memorial and later transferred to Christiana Hospital in Stanton in critical condition.
A 45-year-old Harrington man was taken to Nanticoke Memorial Hospital in Seaford, where he was treated and released.
Police said none of the occupants were wearing seat belts.
Investigators have not yet determined the driver of the truck.
“Alcohol and speed may have been contributing factors in the case,” Master Cpl. Gary Fournier said.
Andrewville Road was closed about 4.5 hours while the crash was investigated and the wreckage cleared.
