An 18-year-old Green Bay woman and a couple from Glenbeulah, Wis., were transported to Door County Medical Center Thursday following a head-on collision in the Town of Baileys Harbor. The accident occurred just after 6:45 p.m. on State Highway 57 near Ahrens Road. The Green Bay woman was driving north in a company truck when she could not steer; instead, she headed into the southbound lane while negotiating a curve in the road. The other vehicle was being driven by a 30-year-old Glenbeulah man with a 30-year-old Glenbeulah woman as his passenger.

 

According to the accident report, the woman was driving faster than the suggested speed limit of 45 miles per hour but under the posted speed limit of 55 miles per hour. A conversation with the woman’s father, who owns the truck, discovered that he had driven the vehicle earlier in the day and had no problems with it.  She was cited with operating left of center and failing to keep her vehicle under control. She also consented to a blood test for drugs and alcohol, and those results are still pending. All three individuals were transported to the hospital to be treated for suspected serious injuries while the vehicles were towed. The accident closed a portion of State Highway 57 for approximately two-and-a-half hours, so clean-up could occur.
