Passing attempt results in two-car collision
A 68-year-old Ellison Bay man’s attempt to pass another driver resulted in a two-vehicle accident last Friday in Sister Bay on Friday. The accident occurred at about 11:20 a.m. on State Highway 42/Bayshore Drive near Westwood Drive as both vehicles were driving south. A 59-year-old Ellison Bay woman was trying to turn left into the driveway of a store when she was struck by the man trying to pass her. The collision sent the man and his vehicle into a speed limit sign and a nearby ditch. It also caused the woman to spin clockwise approximately 180 degrees before it came to rest in the northbound lane. Neither driver had to be transported to the hospital for treatment despite suspected minor injuries, but their vehicles had to be towed due to disabling damage. The man was cited for deviating from the lane of traffic as he improperly tried passing the vehicle.
