A 91-year-old man from Wilmington was killed in a head-on crash in Greenville Wednesday morning, according to Delaware State Police.

He has been identified by police as Henry Schaal.

Police said that Schaal was driving north on Kennett Pike approaching the intersection with Buck Road in a 2006 Ford F-150. At the same time, a 57-year-old man was heading south on Kennett Pike in an International attenuator truck past the same intersection.
