Only minor injuries were reported in a three-vehicle accident in Ephraim on Monday. The accident occurred after 3:30 p.m. on State Highway 42 near Holand Road, where an 18-year-old Ephraim man was waiting to turn left from the northbound lane. As he waited, he was rear-ended by a 35-year-old Ephaim man driving a pick-up truck with his two kids. According to the crash report, he was checking his mirrors when he looked up and noticed the vehicle in front of him and could not stop in time. The collision caused the sports utility vehicle to get bumped into the southbound lane, forcing a third vehicle driven by a 66-year-old Sturgeon Bay to go off the roadway and into a ditch to avoid the crash. While he avoided the collision with the cars, he still damaged his vehicle enough that it had to join the other two in being towed. The 35-year-old Ephraim man, one of his kids, and the 18-year-old man all suffered possible injuries, but none severe enough to require a trip to the hospital. The accident did end in an inattentive driving citation for the 35-year-old. It took emergency personnel about 90 minutes to clear the accident, fully reopening the highway shortly after 5 p.m.
