A 64-year-old Sturgeon Bay man died in a two-vehicle accident just south of Sunny Point Road and Highway 42 in the town of Egg Harbor on Tuesday.  Authorities responded to the scene shortly after 10:30 a.m. The initial investigation indicated that the Sturgeon Bay man’s van was traveling southbound, crossed the centerline, and struck an SUV driven by a 30-year-old Sturgeon Bay man.  The man driving the van was transported to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.  The driver of the SUV was airlifted to a Green Bay hospital for treatment of his injuries. 

The highway was closed to traffic until 2:15 p.m. after a traffic construction team from the Wisconsin State Patrol assisted with the investigation at the scene. The incident remains under investigation, and no other information will be released until the family is notified.

The Egg Harbor Fire Department and EMS, Jacksonport Fire Department, Gibraltar Police Department, and the Door County Sheriff’s Office initially responded to the scene.
