A two-vehicle crash on the highway in the Town of Nasewaupee led to a busy morning at Door County Medical Center and two citations issued by the Door County Sheriff’s Department.

The accident occurred just after 8:45 a.m. near the intersection of State Highway 42/57 and Stagg Road when a 69-year-old Sturgeon Bay woman and her two passengers turned into traffic trying to cross the road in their minivan. According to the accident report, she told the responding deputy that she did not see any other vehicles traveling behind two larger trucks approaching the intersection, looking to turn onto Stagg Road. As she was crossing the highway from Stagg Road, her vehicle was struck by another minivan driven by a 33-year-old Sturgeon Bay woman with her two passengers traveling south on the highway. The impact sent both vehicles into the paved median until emergency personnel arrived.  Between the two vehicles, all six individuals went to Door County Medical Center following the accident. Five of the six people had to be treated for possible injury, and all three individuals in the minivan, two of whom were from Michigan, were transported via ambulance.

The 69-year-old Sturgeon Bay woman was cited for failing to yield while making a left turn, while the 33-year-old woman was cited for driving an unregistered vehicle. The crash closed down the highway for approximately an hour so the vehicles could be removed and clean-up could occur.
