Two injured in three-vehicle Clay Banks accident

Inattentive driving is to blame for sending two people to area hospitals on Tuesday following a three-vehicle accident in the Town of Clay Banks. The accident occurred just after 3:30 p.m. at the intersection of County Highway S and Salona Road. According to the accident report, a 31-year-old Algoma woman and a 52-year-old Sturgeon Bay man were driving north on County S when the man attempted to turn left onto Salona Road. The woman could not stop in time, striking the rear of the man’s vehicle as it was stopped waiting to make the turn. A third vehicle, driven by a 29-year-old Algoma man, was driving by as the accident occurred. He told the deputy that he noticed the woman’s car not slowing down as he approached the intersection coming from the opposite direction, hearing tires squealing before the crash occurred.  Debris from the accident hit his car as he drove through the intersection and past the crash scene. The woman and her passenger, an 11-year-old Sturgeon Bay boy, were sent to separate hospitals to be treated for suspected minor injuries. She also received a citation for inattentive driving. The other two drivers suffered no apparent injuries.  One lane of County S was closed for nearly an hour as emergency personnel cleared the scene.
