Inattentive driving blamed for two-vehicle accident
A Sturgeon Bay teen was cited for inattentive driving and received a warning for operating a cell phone on a probationary license after rear-ending another vehicle in the Town of Sevastopol on Tuesday night. The accident occurred just before 7 p.m. at the intersection of State Highway 42/57 and Gordon Road. A 57-year-old Sturgeon Bay woman was waiting to turn left onto Gordon Road when she was clipped from behind by the teen’s vehicle. According to the accident report from the Door County Sheriff’s Department, the teen was taking a phone call when he failed to get far enough over to pass the other vehicle on the right as she waited to turn. The teen suffered a possible injury, but it did not require a trip to the hospital for additional treatment. The intersection was cleared in 45 minutes while the two vehicles were towed away.
