A 26-year-old Sturgeon Bay man received three citations following a two-vehicle accident in the Town of Egg Harbor on Tuesday that sent three people to the hospital for additional treatment. The crash occurred before 11:40 a.m. near State Highway 42 and Sunny Slope Road. According to the accident report, a 68-year-old Greenleaf woman was driving with her husband, heading south on the highway when she slowed down to turn left. As she slowed down, the Sturgeon Bay man struck them from behind in his vehicle. He told the responding deputy that he could not stop in time to avoid the accident with a witness, adding that he had swerved multiple times leading up to the collision. Both cars were towed because of the accident, and the three individuals had to be transported to Door County Medical Center for additional treatment for suspected minor injuries. The road had to be closed for approximately 40 minutes to clean up after the accident, with the roadway reopening shortly after 12:20 p.m. The Sturgeon Bay man was cited for operating a vehicle without a valid license, not carrying insurance, and following too closely in an automobile.
