Slippery roads lead to Baileys Harbor crash

Poor winter driving conditions were to blame for a 25-year-old Baileys Harbor man driving off the road and into a utility pole on Thursday. Door County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to County Highway Q near Sunset Drive in the Town of Baileys Harbor just after 7 a.m. According to the accident report, the driver was navigating the road’s curvature when he lost control of his pickup truck. He eventually left the roadway and slammed into a utility pole and box. He injured his hand in the accident but denied medical treatment. The responding deputy noted that the road had clear ice on it, and the driving conditions were poor. No citation was issued as a result of the accident and the car was towed away due to disabling damage. The accident was part of a busy morning for the Door County Sheriff’s Department. They were notified of three cars in ditches and five accidents between 5:50 a.m. and 9 a.m. on Thursday, during which parts of Door County received another coating of snow before melting away later on in the day.
