BETHANY BEACH, Del. (AP) — Police say a crash caused by driving under the influence sent three people to the hospital and temporarily shut down part of a highway snaking through popular Delaware beach towns.

News outlets cite a release from Delaware State Police that says 23-year-old James I. Windle was driving a pickup Sunday afternoon and crashed into a pickup truck driven by a 61-year-old man who had made a U-turn on Route 1. The crash caused both trucks to overturn, sending the vehicles into the marsh south of the Indian River Inlet Bridge.

Windle, his passenger and the other driver were treated for minor injuries.

Windle was charged with DUI and following too closely. It’s unclear whether he has a lawyer.

The southbound lanes of Coastal Highway were closed for approximately two hours.

Between prices and a diarrhea-causing parasite, lettuce is causing hard times at some restaurants

It’s been a choppy year for restaurants that lean into lettuce. Lettuce prices rose sharply in the first half of 2026 due to hot weather in Arizona, where about one-third of America’s lettuce is grown. Now, restaurants are dealing with the fallout from a cyclospora outbreak linked to shredded lettuce that has sickened thousands of Americans. Taco Bell will likely see the biggest sales impact from the outbreak, which began in late June. Federal health officials first tied the outbreak to shredded iceberg lettuce served at Taco Bell restaurants in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and West Virginia. Later, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said customers in Illinois, Kansas, Oklahoma and Pennsylvania were also affected. Taco Bell said on July 17 that it had voluntarily removed shredded iceberg lettuce supplied by Taylor Farms from its U.S. restaurants. But its customer volume has suffered. As of July 23, Taco Bell visits were 21% lower than average across the U.S., according to Placer.ai, a market research company.
