A Washington, Ill. couple was transported to Door County Medical Center last Saturday afternoon following a one-vehicle crash. The accident occurred just after 1:20 p.m. on State Highway 42 near Beach Road. The vehicle was heading south on the road when witnesses said it swerved off the road while trying to avoid slower traffic ahead. The vehicle drove through a ditch before hitting the guy wire of a utility pole and a tree. Both the 86-year-old man driving and his passenger, an 82-year-old woman, suffered suspected minor injuries in the crash that required additional treatment. The driver was cited for failing to keep his vehicle under control.
