Hit-and-run accident sends Egg Harbor woman to hospital
A 24-year-old woman from Egg Harbor had to be transported to Door County Medical Center to be treated for a suspected minor injury after another driver sent her into a tree in the Town of Egg Harbor. The accident occurred last Monday on State Highway 42 near Wayside Road before 11:15 a.m. According to the accident report, the woman was driving her black SUV southbound on the highway when she came upon a pair of vehicles. One vehicle braked slowly to make a right-hand turn, causing the woman and another to switch lanes quickly. The woman was attempting to pass both cars when she was struck by what was described as a red SUV. The responding deputy noted that the marks left on the black SUV were consistent with one car sideswiping the other. The woman, her two young passengers, and their black SUV went off the road into a tree. While she needed additional medical treatment, her two passengers were uninjured. While the other two vehicles were not at the scene, a portion of the roadway had to be closed for about 20 minutes so the black SUV could be towed.
