Two delivery drivers walked away from a two-vehicle collision on STH 42 south of Carlsville that caused the highway to be closed for over four hours Tuesday afternoon as emergency crews cleaned and cleared the scene.

Egg Harbor Fire Chief Justin MacDonald says the propane truck collided with a cargo van shortly before noon, causing both vehicles to overturn on the highway.  Both vehicles were traveling northbound when the van attempted to turn left onto West Town Line Road.  After the collision, the driver of the van was trapped and needed to be extricated from the vehicle but did not need medical assistance. MacDonald describes how his department provided protection with a water curtain to contain the slight spillage of vapors from the fill hose that escaped.

Both Egg Harbor and Sturgeon Bay fire departments responded to the call, along with Door County EMS, Door County Sheriff’s Department, and Door County Emergency Management.

Highway 42 was reopened to traffic at about 4:30 p.m.
