Two injured in Halloween crash
A 49-year-old Kewaunee woman and a 78-year-old Sturgeon Bay man were both transported to Door County Medical Center for treatment for minor injuries sustained in a two-vehicle crash last Thursday. The accident occurred just after 3:45 p.m. at the intersection of State Highway 57 and Stone Road, where the woman was trying to cross the highway. After successfully crossing the northbound lanes, the woman was trying to pick her spot to cross the northbound lanes onto Stone Road. According to the accident report, the woman said she could not see around a "do not enter" sign when she tried crossing the highway. At that time, the man was driving north on the highway when he saw the woman trying to cross. Despite trying to swerve out of the way, he was struck by the vehicle and ended up in a nearby ditch. Both cars had to be towed due to disabling damage while the two drivers were transported for medical treatment. The woman was cited for failing to yield to the right of way from a stop sign. A traffic lane was closed for approximately one hour while emergency personnel cleaned up after the crash.
