New Richmond man injured in two-vehicle accident
A New Richmond man was transported to Door County Medical Center for suspect injuries following a rear-end collision Friday afternoon. The accident occurred at approximately 2:40 p.m. at the intersection of Michigan Street and 12th Avenue. An 80-year-old Whitelaw woman was driving across 12th Avenue on Michigan Street when she was rear-ended by a 69-year-old New Richmond man. He told police officers that he was on his phone talking to someone while looking for somewhere to go to the bathroom when he struck the vehicle ahead of him. A witness told officers that she did not see brake lights on either vehicle when the accident occurred. It took about 30 minutes to clear the scene and neither driver was cited in the accident.
