Cyclist injured during century ride
An accident during the Door County Century Ride earlier this month reminded motorists and cyclists to work together to ensure safety on the area roadways. According to the recently released accident report, a 47-year-old Baileys Harbor man and his passenger were driving eastbound in their sports-utility vehicle on Hillside Road near County Highway EB in the Town of Egg Harbor when a cyclist turned in front of him. The driver tried avoiding the cyclist by swerving into the other lane, but he could not stop in time. The cyclist, a 73-year-old Baileys Harbor man, was transported to Door County Medical Center for possible injuries. He was also cited for failure to yield to the right of way since the sport-utility vehicle had the right of way. There was another bicycle accident near Clark Lake Road and Shore Drive in the Town of Sevastopol on Saturday, but no further details have been shared.
