Family members, friends, and members of the Milford, Delaware community are mourning the tragic and heartbreaking loss of 26-year-old Noah Bliss of Harrington, whose life was cut short in a devastating single-vehicle crash early Saturday morning.
According to Milford Police, the crash occurred on June 20 at approximately 2:14 a.m. when a 2010 Toyota Tacoma was traveling eastbound on Shawnee Road at a high rate of speed. For reasons still under investigation, the vehicle left the roadway near the entrance to the Cypress Hall Shopping Center. It then struck an electrical pole and a tree before overturning multiple times and coming to rest upside down in a nearby retention pond.
Emergency responders, including officers and Carlisle Fire Company firefighters, rushed to the scene and worked to rescue the sole occupant from the submerged vehicle. Life-saving measures were performed at the scene by emergency medical services before Bliss was transported to a nearby hospital. Despite all efforts, he was later pronounced deceased.
Authorities closed the area for approximately three hours while investigators documented the crash scene and worked to determine the circumstances leading up to the fatal incident.
As news of his passing spreads, loved ones and community members are left in shock, remembering Noah Bliss and mourning a life taken far too soon. Family and friends are now leaning on one another for support as they cope with this sudden and painful loss.
Though his life ended tragically, Noah Bliss will be remembered with love, respect, and deep sorrow by all who knew him.
