A young woman was killed while a man was injured in a crash involving a car and truck on I-95 in Wilmington, Delaware, Friday night.

The 19-year-old woman from Newark, Delaware, was driving a Chrysler 200 northbound on I-95 south of Harvey Road in Wilmington around 8:55 p.m. At the same time, a 34-year-old man from New York was driving a Volvo tractor-trailer that was carrying three cars southbound on I-95 in the same area.
