Tragic Loss of Ethan Statham in a Fatal Dover Motorcycle Crash

Dover, Delaware – The Dover community is grieving the devastating loss of Ethan Statham, an 18-year-old University of Delaware student and accomplished Eagle Scout, who tragically lost his life in a motorcycle crash near Dover, as reported by the Delaware State Police.

The incident occurred as Ethan Statham was riding his motorcycle east on Hazlettville Road, east of Apple Grove Road, at 5:16 p.m. A red 2019 Dodge Ram 1500, traveling west on the same road, attempted to make a left turn into a private residence driveway. Tragically, the Dodge struck the front tire of Statham’s 2022 Kawasaki EX4 motorcycle, causing him to be thrown off his bike and onto the westbound lane of traffic. Despite efforts to save him, Ethan Statham was pronounced dead at the scene, while the 57-year-old driver of the pickup escaped unharmed.

The initial report of the accident came on Wednesday, and Ethan Statham’s identity was withheld until his family could be notified. In an online obituary, his family described him as an honor student at Caesar Rodney High School in Camden, an avid nature photographer, a talented player of the French horn and mellophone, and one of the youngest to achieve the rank of Eagle Scout. He was pursuing a mechanical engineering degree at the University of Delaware.
