Sturgeon Bay woman injured in two-vehicle accident

A 72-year-old Sturgeon Bay woman had to be transported to Door County Medical Center for suspected serious injuries after being involved in a two-vehicle accident Saturday afternoon. The accident occurred before 12:45 p.m. near the intersection of Jefferson Street and 4th Avenue. The woman was traveling with her husband when their sports utility vehicle was rear-ended from behind by a pickup truck with four teenagers. According to the accident report, the drivers of the other vehicle said they were pressing the brake pedal down to the ground when the accident occurred. He later stated that the brakes would “work most of the time.” The woman suffered neck and head injuries as a result of the crash and was transported to the hospital for additional treatment. The husband and the four teens were uninjured, but the teen driver received a citation for operating a motor vehicle without capable brakes. The responding officers from the Sturgeon Bay Police Department took about 15 minutes to clear the scene.
