Slick road conditions return after Friday accident
A 16-year-old Sturgeon Bay boy was able to avoid serious injury last Friday after his vehicle slid off County Highway T and into a tree in the Town of Jacksonport. The accident occurred at 10 a.m. following a winter storm that brought three inches of snow and slick conditions. According to the accident report, the teenage driver lost control of his truck on the ice and snow-covered road when it began to spin clockwise. It eventually came to rest when the left rear portion of the car struck a large cedar tree after it had slid off the road. The vehicle had to be towed, but the teen did not have to be transported for a possible injury. Slick road conditions could be in the cards again for Monday as a winter weather advisory is in effect until 6 p.m. One to three inches of snow is expected to fall before it eventually melts away, with rain and temperatures in the 40s forecasted for later this week.
