Pedestrian hospitalized after Sturgeon Bay accident
A 22-year-old Sturgeon Bay man was transported to Door County Medical Center Monday night after being hit by a car as he crossed the street. The accident occurred at 9:35 p.m. at State Highway 42/57 and South Neenah Avenue. According to the accident report from the Sturgeon Bay Police Department, the man was walking south, crossing the highway, when he was struck by a car driven by a 17-year-old Sturgeon Bay boy. The rain, darkness, the oncoming vehicle lights, and the dark clothing worn by the pedestrian were all reasons why the driver said he did not see the man crossing the street. He was cited for failing to yield to the pedestrian. All lanes of traffic were reopened by 10:20 p.m.
