WILMINGTON, Del. (CBS) – Delaware State Police are investigating a double-fatal crash involving a motorcycle on I-95. The crash happened on the southbound lanes of I-95 just south of the Jackson Street on-ramp.

Police say a 2016 Toyota Sienna, being driven by a 44-year-old Middletown man, was traveling in the right lane of I-95 heading southbound when a Suzuki motorcycle collided with the rear of the Toyota. The Suzuki, being operated by a 41-year-old New Castle man, was reportedly traveling at a high rate of speed while weaving in and out of traffic prior to the accident.

The collision caused the Suzuki to flip on its side, separating both the driver and passenger from the motorcycle.

Both the operator and his passenger, 39-year-old woman from New Castle, were pronounced dead at scene.
