Sturgeon Bay woman cited in two-vehicle crash
Inattentive driving is to blame for a two-vehicle crash Monday morning in Sturgeon Bay. The accident occurred just after 9 a.m. on County S south of West Walnut Drive when a 42-year-old Sturgeon Bay woman was trailing a 69-year-old Algoma man in her vehicle. According to the accident report, the woman said she looked down at her temperature controls before the accident occurred. When she looked up, she realized she could not avoid the collision. The man said he saw her approaching fast and looking down before the crash. The two disagreed on whether he applied the brakes or not, with the man saying there was nothing in the area that would have caused him to stop or slow down. The accident report also shows a disagreement in the speed of the woman's driving with the responding deputy, who said the damage was inconsistent with the reported speed. While the woman was unharmed, the man suffered a possible injury that did not require a trip to the hospital. In addition to her car getting towed due to disabling damage, she was cited for inattentive driving.
