Note: This is an old post but its happening each and everyday of late. Why?

A 47-year-old man died and a woman was injured by a stolen vehicle during a string of crashes and carjackings that led to a kidnapping along Route 9 near New Castle on Sunday morning, Delaware State Police said.

At around 9:30 a.m., troopers responded to 4049 New Castle Ave. near New Castle where a 30-year-old woman had entered a parked and occupied SUV through the passenger's side, police said.

The four occupants of the vehicle, including two juveniles in the back seat, were able to get out of the SUV before the woman began driving south on Route 9, police said.

As the driver was attempting to get away, however, she hit a woman who had been inside the SUV, leaving her with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

Moments later, the driver hit 47-year-old Joseph Stanavich near Route 9 and Boothhurst Boulevard. Stanavich was taken to a nearby hospital where he was later pronounced dead, police said.

As the woman continued to drive away, she hit and injured a 19-year-old woman near South and Sixth streets in New Castle, according to police. The woman auffered non-life-threatening injuries, according to police.

As she continued to drive away, the driver crossed over the double yellow line of the roadway and hit an oncoming car head-on near Route 141 and Route 273. The occupants of the oncoming car sustained non-life-threatening injuries.

Following the head-on crash, the 30-year-old woman carjacked the vehicle of a man who had stopped to help at the scene, police said. The woman then drove away from the scene as a 77-year-old woman, who was in the passenger's seat of the vehicle, remained inside, police said.

The driver then continued south on River Road where she crashed with another vehicle near Hamburg Road.

An off-duty police officer and a former law enforcement officer apprehended the driver at the scene of the final crash near New Castle before troopers arrived and took the woman into custody.

In addition to several traffic charges, she was charged with kidnapping, two counts of robbery, four counts of reckless endangering, vehicular homicide and leaving the scene of a crash resulting in death, all felonies. She was also charged with five counts of terroristic threatening.

She is being held in prison on $254,000 cash bail.

Personal note: This crap has been going on for quite sometime.
It's daily and in every state. Chicago area (where I live) 24/7
this crap goes on. It's really sad and inhumain if you ask me.
Lately it seems to be a thrill for many who have issues with
others or just want to kill folks - to me that's a sickness that
needs electricution on TV - for those who pull this crap can
see what your punishment will should this type of crime occur.
Of cours its always a drug related or scycotic mental gang
issue - or just because they can. Its sickness! We don't
need these types of folks on the streets - sad.
