Moment's glance ends in Brussels crash

A motorist was uninjured after accidentally driving off of Highway 57 in Brussels Monday afternoon. The Door County Sheriff’s Department and Brussels-Union-Gardner Fire Department responded to the accident just after 4 p.m. near County Highway H and State Highway 57. The driver admitted to authorities he had taken his eyes off the road and overcorrected his vehicle when he hit the rumble strips. The motorist ended up driving through a fence and down a hill. Door County Sheriff’s Department Chief Deputy Pat McCarty says this is a good example of how driver error caused a preventable accident.

Cars that drive off the road and into ditches near state highways are required to call a licensed tow truck operator to pull them out.
