Gas tanker overturns in Nasewaupee
A 32-year-old Sturgeon Bay man was cited for failing to keep his vehicle under control Saturday morning after his propane truck overturned in the Town of Nasewaupee. Emergency personnel responded to the accident on Sand Bay Road near Eliason Road shortly after 10:20 a.m. According to the accident report, the crash occurred at 9:45 a.m., though it was not reported to the authorities until nearly a half hour later. The driver told the responding deputy that he had driven onto the right shoulder, where he became sucked into the ditch. As he tried to steer out of the ditch, he hit a raised driveway that caused his vehicle to tip over. The truck eventually landed on its passenger side. The truck needed to be towed due to disabling damage, but the driver was able to be treated for a suspected minor injury without needing to be transported to the hospital. The accident closed down a portion of Sand Bay Road for about 80 minutes for investigation and clean-up purposes.
