A 19-year-old Sturgeon Bay man was cited for operating his vehicle left of the center line and without insurance after he drove the road and into a tree. The Door County Sheriff’s Department responded to the accident on Brauer Road near Haberli Road in the Town of Sevastopol after 4 p.m. on Thursday. The responding deputy was told that the driver had left the scene to go to the hospital to treat a possible injury. The driver later told the deputy that his truck suffered a mechanical malfunction before it entered a skid, crossed over the centerline, and drove into a farm field for about 60 yards before entering the woods. According to the accident report, there were no steer malfunctions, and the front tires spun freely. The vehicle was towed away from the scene due to disabling damage.
