A Sturgeon Bay boy had to be taken to Door County Medical Center to be treated for serious injuries Tuesday afternoon after he was struck by an oncoming vehicle on his electric scooter. The accident occurred after 3:30 p.m. near the intersection of Kentucky Street and 7th Avenue. According to the accident report, the boy was crossing 7th Avenue on an electric scooter, and he was struck by a Sturgeon Bay woman driving her sports utility vehicle. Witnesses say the boy was “fixated” on crossing the street and did not attempt to stop or look for oncoming traffic as he rode. When Sturgeon Bay Police officers arrived, the boy was lying in the street with his broken electric scooter under the damaged vehicle. No citations were issued due to the accident, and the intersection was reopened to traffic shortly after 4 p.m.
