An 85-year-old Egg Harbor man was taken to Door County Medical Center on Tuesday afternoon after losing control of his vehicle due to slippery roads.

The crash occurred at 12:15 p.m. along Bayshore Drive near Town Road 4 in the Town of Sevastopol. According to the accident report, the man was traveling southbound on Bayshore Drive when he lost control of the vehicle while navigating a curve. After leaving the roadway, the vehicle struck a driveway embankment and ran over several small trees before stopping after hitting a larger tree.

The man suffered minor injuries and was transported to the hospital. His vehicle was towed from the scene.

Tuesday was a busy day for local emergency personnel due to freezing rain that coated area roads during the midday hours. Between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., the Door County Dispatch Center received calls for eight crashes involving personal injury or property damage, as well as nine vehicles in ditches.
