Three people were transported to the hospital Sunday morning after a three-vehicle crash in the Town of Sevastopol. The accident occurred shortly before 10:30 a.m. on State Highway 42/57 near Forest Road when a 66-year-old Two Rivers man traveling northbound crossed the centerline and struck a southbound vehicle. The driver of the other vehicle, a 46-year-old Egg Harbor man, attempted to avoid the crash but was unsuccessful. A third vehicle, driven by a 62-year-old Neenah woman, also tried to avoid the collision, but snowy conditions prevented her from doing so.

 

According to the accident report, the Two Rivers man was at fault and was cited for not wearing a seatbelt. He was airlifted to a Green Bay hospital for treatment, while his passenger, a 60-year-old Naples, Fla. man, was taken by ambulance to Door County Medical Center. The Egg Harbor man was also taken to the hospital to be evaluated for possible injuries. The Neenah woman and her passenger, a 68-year-old Neenah man, did not require medical attention.

 

The highway was closed for nearly an hour so the scene could be cleared and the vehicles towed. The Door County Sheriff’s Office responded to nearly a dozen vehicle-related incidents Sunday, due in part to the snowstorm that dropped more than six inches of snow in some areas of the peninsula.
