A Lewes man and woman are in critical condition following a motorcycle crash May 12 on Route 1 near Rehoboth Beach.
The crash happened at 8:42 p.m. when an orange 2023 KTM 890 sport bike driven by a Lewes man, 27, with a passenger, a 23-year-old Lewes woman, was heading northbound on Route 1 approaching the intersection of Bay Vista Road.
