A Forestville teenager had to be transported to Door County Medical Center with suspected minor injuries after a two-vehicle crash near the entrance of Renard’s Cheese Saturday morning.
Members of the Door County Sheriff’s Department, Door County EMS, and Nasewaupee Fire Rescue were dispatched to the corner of Cloverleaf Road and County DK just after 11:30 a.m. A car driven by a Milwaukee couple was trying to cross County DK to get to the cheese store when he was struck by a sports utility vehicle driven by a family from Forestville. The Milwaukee man driving told deputies on the scene that he did not see the sports utility vehicle when he tried crossing the roadway. The collision spun the sports utility vehicle around before it left the roadway and stopped in a ditch. Only one other possible injury was reported, but both cars had to be towed due to disabling damage. The Milwaukee man driving the car was cited for failure to yield the right of way at a stop sign.
County officials have explored lowering the speed limit on County DK, which runs alongside Highway 42/57 near Renards, to 45 miles per hour from Stone Road to Stevenson Pier Road.
