Forestville driver receives three citations after driving into house
A 29-year-old Forestville woman not only suffered minor injuries to herself and one of her passengers but also received multiple traffic citations after she drove into a house last Saturday. The Door County Sheriff’s Department responded to the crash near State Highway 42 and West Park Street intersection in the Village of Forestville at approximately 2:30 p.m. after the woman had driven into a nearby home. Witnesses said the woman had been swerving back and forth before she exited the roadway and went through a ditch before striking the building. Through a Sturgeon Bay Police Department Officer interpreting for the driver, the woman told the responding deputy that she had missed her turn and had mistakenly hit the wrong pedal when she was trying to maneuver. The woman and her 32-year-old male passenger both suffered suspected minor injuries but did not need to be transported. Another passenger, a 26-year-old woman, was uninjured. Her sports utility vehicle did have to be towed from the scene due to disabling damage. The driver was cited for failing to keep the vehicle under control and operating a vehicle without a license and insurance.
