A loose water bottle is partially to blame for a carload of Indiana men driving off the road and into a ditch Saturday afternoon. Emergency personnel from the Door County Sheriff’s Department, Gibraltar Fire Department, and Gibraltar Police Department responded to the crash on County Road A near Tanglewood Lane just after 3 p.m., where they found the vehicle lying in a ditch. According to the accident report, a 53-year-old Crown Point, Ind. man was driving the sport-utility vehicle when a water bottle lodged underneath the gas pedal. The driver told the deputy that he lost control of the car trying to remove the water bottle. He went into a nearby ditch, grazed a utility pole, struck a lifted driveway, and soared into a second ditch before coming to rest. A witness said he was in his garage when he heard a loud sound before seeing the vehicle go airborne. All four of the car’s occupants were outside of the vehicle when emergency personnel arrived. However, the driver and one of the passengers, a 56-year-old man from Lafayette, Ind., had to be transported to Door County Medical Center for suspected injuries. Two other passengers, a 56-year-old Valparaiso, Ind. man, and a 55-year-old Lowell, Ind. man, did not require additional medical attention. The roadway was closed for about an hour and reopened shortly before 4 p.m. after the vehicle was towed.
