A 56-year-old man crashed his motor vehicle into the front office area of a Felton-area elementary school, state police said Wednesday.

The man, whose name police did not release, was operating a 1999 Ford Explorer eastbound on Killens Pond Road about 6:25 p.m. when he "traveled off the north side of the road and traveled in a northeasterly direction across the grass," said Master Cpl. Gary Fournier, a spokesman for Delaware State Police.

The driver then crashed into Lake Forest Central Elementary School, before coming to a complete stop, Fournier added.

The 56-year-old male, who was properly restrained, was transported to Bayhealth Kent General Hospital for non-life-threatening injuries, Fournier said.

The school was unoccupied by staff at the time of the incident.

The crash is under investigation and no charges have been filed at this time, Fournier said.
