An 81-year-old Sturgeon Bay woman was transported to Door County Medical Center, and a 65-year-old Algoma man received two citations following a two-vehicle crash in the Town of Nasewaupee last Thursday. The accident occurred at approximately 2:30 p.m. as the Sturgeon Bay woman was driving with an 80-year-old Sturgeon Bay in his pick-up truck near the State Highway 42/57 junction near County MM. According to the accident report, the pick-up truck was heading north when it noticed the Algoma man crossing the median in his sports-utility vehicle. The Algoma man said he was driving southbound on STH 42 when he looked but did not see any oncoming traffic and tried crossing both lanes. As he attempted to cross the northbound lanes, he noticed the other vehicle in his blind spot just as he was about to strike it. The Sturgeon Bay man told deputies that he tried turning to get out of the way but could not. The accident closed a portion of the highway for over an hour while clean-up occurred. The Algoma man was cited for operating a vehicle on a revoked license and failing to yield to the right of way.
