Motorists escape major injury in Jacksonport
Two motorists were able to leave the scene under their own power after a two-vehicle accident in the Town of Jacksonport on Wednesday. The accident occurred just before 4 p.m. near State Highway 57 and Loritz Road. A 45-year-old Milwaukee woman was traveling south on STH 57 when a 62-year-old Egg Harbor man attempted to turn left onto Loritz Road in front of her. The woman could not avoid the other vehicle, striking his passenger side. The collision sent the man’s vehicle into a nearby utility pole and the woman spinning in the southbound lane. Both drivers suffered minor injuries but told responding deputies that they did not need an ambulance. The man was cited for failing to yield when making a turn. The accident forced emergency personnel to close STH 57 for about an hour, reopening the roadway shortly before 5 p.m.
