Grafton woman injured in three-vehicle accident
A 76-year-old Grafton woman had to be taken to Door County Medical Center for additional treatment stemming from a three-vehicle accident last Friday night. The accident occurred at approximately 10:30 p.m. on State Highway 42 near Gooseberry Lane. According to the accident report, the vehicle she was traveling in with an 87-year-old Menominee Falls woman was traveling southbound on STH 42 following the fireworks celebration in Gills Rock when they were rear-ended by another vehicle driven by a 22 year-old Chicago man. The force of the collision sent their vehicle into the car in front of it before coming to rest in a nearby ditch. The Chicago man told deputies he had not been paying attention to the slowed down traffic in front of him and was tired from traveling up from Illinois to perform at a show in Gills Rock. Only the one woman was injured from the crash out of the three cars, though the woman’s car and the man’s car had to be towed away due to disabling damage. The Chicago man was cited for inattentive driving after passing a field sobriety test.
