De Pere woman seriously injured in single-vehicle crash
A 60-year-old De Pere woman had to be taken to a Green Bay hospital Sunday night after driving off the roadway and into a collection of trees in the Town of Sturgeon Bay. Deputies responded to Buffalo Ridge Trail near Deer Trail Lane just after 9:30 p.m. According to the crash report, the woman told the deputy she was hurrying to get home when she approached the curve driving west. It was then she realized her vehicle was starting to shake, and she began to lose control. She skidded off the roadway near some trees, where the car came to a stop. A family friend, who was also at the scene, said the driver had called to say her power steering went out before the crash. The woman was transported via ambulance to be treated for suspected injuries while her vehicle was towed away. She was not cited in the incident. A portion of the road was closed for approximately 45 minutes after the crash for clean-up and to remove the vehicle.
