Icy roads leads to single-vehicle accident

A Sturgeon Bay teen was transported to Door County Medical Center on New Year’s Day after he lost control of his vehicle in the Town of Egg Harbor. Deputies responded to the crash on Carlsville Road near Bluff Ledge Road just after 11:30 a.m. The accident had occurred at 11 a.m., but spotty cell phone coverage prevented the emergency call from being placed until 15 minutes later.  The sports utility vehicle was traveling southwest on Carlsville Road when it approached a curve. The combination of speed, snow, and ice caused the teen to lose control as it entered the curve, spinning sideways across the road and a nearby driveway. The vehicle was eventually stopped by a group of trees near the driveway’s entrance. The teen could leave the car and walk home to tell his father, who owned the vehicle, about the accident. The father was the one who notified the Door County Sheriff’s Department about the crash, informing them that he was taking him to the hospital for treatment of a possible injury. The accident closed a portion of the road for about 35 minutes so the vehicle could be towed away. The teen was cited for driving too fast for conditions.
