On Monday, one man was transported to the hospital after his vehicle collided with a truck hauling asphalt sealer at the Highway 42-57 and Neenah Avenue intersection.
The crash occurred around noon as Nathan Corrbeille of Bonduel was driving southbound on the highway and attempting to turn left at the intersection when the traffic light turned yellow. The truck, driven by Kale Hamacher of Sturgeon Bay, was driving northbound through the intersection and stated there was insufficient time for him to stop safely with the vehicle’s load. Witnesses to the accident could not say if the lights were red or yellow when the truck went through the intersection or before the crash.
Corrbeille complained of rib pain and was treated by EMS at the scene before being transported to the hospital for evaluation by another person after refusing medical transport. Hamacher and his one passenger were not injured in the accident.
The police report stated that no citations were issued due to the uncertainty of the traffic light's status at the time of the crash. Due to damage, both vehicles needed to be towed from the scene, and the highway was closed temporarily until the spilled asphalt sealer could dry.
