One injured in four-vehicle Bayview Bridge crash

The first snowfall of the year turned an ordinary Sunday afternoon commute into something from a Hollywood movie that ended with one person going to the hospital and three cars getting towed.

 

On Thursday, the Sturgeon Bay Police Department released the crash's accident report after reviewing the incident's video and eyewitness accounts. Police officers responded to the accident just before 4:45 p.m. after four cars were involved in an accident on the icy roadway triggered when Madison Davis of Sturgeon Bay lost control of her vehicle while traveling south on the bridge.

 

After crossing the centerline, she crashed into the concrete barrier next to the northbound lanes. Tara Steuber of Sturgeon Bay was traveling northbound when she was forced to swerve to avoid hitting Davis. Still, she spun out into the southbound lane, where she was struck by Shelia Klansky of Sturgeon Bay, who could not stop in time. Carson Lischka of Algoma was also involved in the accident when his vehicle struck Davis’ car when he could not stop. 

 

Miraculously, Klansky was the only one transported to Door County Medical Center to be treated for minor injuries out of the nine total people who were in the vehicles during the accident. No citations were issued, and the bridge was closed for just over an hour so clean-up could occur.
