Algoma man suffers possible injury in roundabout crash
An 84-year-old Sturgeon Bay man admitted to a Door County Sheriff’s deputy on Wednesday that he did not check for additional vehicles in the roundabout before striking one in the Town of Sevastopol. The accident occurred just after 10:30 a.m. at the roundabout that links State Highway 42/57 and Egg Harbor Road. The Sturgeon Bay man was entering the roundabout in a pick-up truck from Egg Harbor Road when he struck a sedan driven by a 43-year-old Algoma man. According to the accident report, he told the deputy that he did not see any vehicles heading southbound on State Highway 42/57 before he entered the roundabout but did not check for any already in the roundabout. State law dictates that any vehicle already in the roundabout has the right of way. No citations were issued, and neither driver required a visit to the hospital for possible injuries following the crash or had to have their vehicle towed due to the crash.
