A couple from Hinsdale, Ill., and a 74-year-old Sturgeon Bay man had to be transported to area hospitals following a two-vehicle crash in the Town of Sevastopol Wednesday morning. The accident occurred before 8:40 a.m. near State Highway 42/57 and Gordon Road. The Illinois couple was sitting at the stop sign at Gordon Road, ready to turn onto STH 42/57, when the Sturgeon Bay man struck their vehicle with his. According to the accident report, the Sturgeon Bay man said he was trying to make a right-hand turn onto Gordon Road and struggled to locate the brake pedal. Instead of navigating the turn, he went over a small median before striking the other vehicle. The Sturgeon Bay man’s car ended up in a ditch in front of the nearby gas station while the other vehicle struck the stop sign. He was cited for failure to keep his vehicle under control and was transported to a Green Bay hospital for treatment of his injuries. The Illinois couple, which included a 64-year-old woman and a 65-year-old man, were transported to Door County Medical Center to be treated for their injuries.
