Ellison Bay driver strikes Door County Sheriff's Department vehicle
A 16-year-old Ellison Bay boy was cited for traveling too fast for conditions on Tuesday when his car struck a parked Door County Sheriff’s Department vehicle in the Town of Liberty Grove. The boy was traveling southbound on State Highway 42 just after 7:40 a.m. when he lost control of his car while navigating a reportedly wet and icy turn. He drove across State Highway 42 and struck the Door County Sheriff’s Department vehicle, where a deputy was parked inside the car waiting for a tow truck needed for a different incident. Both the boy and the Sheriff’s deputy suffered injuries, but not severe enough to require transportation to the hospital. Due to disabling damage, both cars had to be towed from the scene.
