A 15-year-old driving a blue 2013 Hyundai struck a utility trailer that was parked on Delaware Street within the Thunderhill Estates mobile home community in Sturgeon Bay on Sunday evening. The driver, who was driving on a valid Iowa Instructional Permit, hit the trailer due to the position of the sun, which temporarily impaired her ability to see.
Due to the hit, the vehicle flipped onto its roof. Both the driver and passenger were wearing their seatbelt. The driver was taken to Door County Medical Center where she was treated for cuts to her arm. The passenger, a 26-year-old Sister Bay woman, did not sustain any injuries. Assistant Chief of Police Dan Brinkman says alcohol and drugs were not a factor in the crash and that no citations were issued.
