A Sturgeon Bay couple had to be taken to the hospital after their motorcycle was struck by a pick-up truck Monday afternoon. The accident occurred before 2:30 p.m. at the intersection of State Highway 42/57 and County PD. David Hoffman of Sturgeon Bay was attempting to cross the highway from County PD when he was struck by a motorcycle. The motorcycle was being driven by Matthew Cloutier with Christian Cloutier along for the ride. Matthew said he tried avoiding the collision but could not. When the motorcycle struck the truck, both Cloutiers were ejected from the bike. A witness collaborated with Cloutier’s story, saying that Hoffman pulled out in front of the Cloutiers and that the speed in which they hit the truck was not excessive. Both Cloutiers were wearing helmets at the time of the accident, but suffered suspected serious injuries and were transported to Door County Medical Center for treatment. Both drivers were cited with Hoffman getting a ticket for failing to yield the right of way from a stop sign and Cloutier for not having a valid motorcycle license.
