Chicago woman injured in single-vehicle crash
A 30-year-old Chicago woman had to be transported to Door County Medical Center last Saturday after the driver, a 33-year-old Fish Creek man, lost control of his vehicle and struck a tree in the Town of Sevastopol. The accident occurred on State Highway 57 near Mathey Road at 4 p.m. The driver was traveling northbound as he approached the curve and hit a patch of slush. The slush caused the driver to lose control of his vehicle and enter a ditch before hitting a tree. According to the accident report, the driver said he was driving 55 miles per hour, which was too fast for the conditions. While he was ok, his passenger was transported with a possible injury while his car was towed for disabling damage. It was part of a busy weekend for Sheriff’s deputies and tow truck operators, with over two dozen reports of cars in ditches from midnight on February 15th until noon on February 16th, coinciding with a snow event that brought several inches of snow to the area.
