Three injured in Ephraim collision

A 77-year-old Huntley, Ill., man was cited for inattentive driving last Thursday after striking another car in Ephraim. The accident occurred on Water Street (STH 42) near Ephraim Village Hall just before 3:20 p.m. The man was driving southbound with his wife when he told deputies that he had been looking down at his navigation system and drifted toward the right side of the road. Meanwhile, a 72-year-old Milwaukee woman was backing into her spot alongside the road when her vehicle was struck by another car. The responding deputy noted in the accident report that she was to the right of the road’s fog line, placing her out of traffic when the incident occurred. The Huntley, Ill., man and his 71-year-old wife suffered possible injuries, but they did not require additional treatment. The Milwaukee woman was injured as well and did not need to be transported, while her 78-year-old husband was unharmed. It took approximately an hour to clean up the scene, which included towing away one of the cars shortly after 4:15 p.m.
