Rear-end collision sends Sturgeon Bay man to hospital

An 80-year-old Sturgeon Bay man was cited for inattentive driving on Thursday afternoon after his car rear-ended a truck in the Town of Sevastopol. The accident occurred just before 4:45 p.m. on State Highway 42 near County Highway P. The truck, driven by a 48-year-old Egg Harbor man, was stopped near CTH P waiting to turn when he looked in his rear-view mirror and noticed the car coming at him and not slowing down. The incident report said he braced for impact when the car struck his truck. The Sturgeon Bay man said he did not remember anything before the crash, but remembered the impact and the windshield breaking. He told the responding deputy that he did not have a medical emergency or lose consciousness. Two witnesses noted that the Sturgeon Bay man did not do any maneuvers to go around the truck or try to avoid the crash. Both men suffered suspected minor injuries, but only the one from Sturgeon Bay was transported to Door County Medical Center for additional treatment. The intersection was closed until about 5:15 p.m. to clean the scene and tow the two vehicles away.
