A quick look away from the road led to an 86-year-old Baileys Harbor woman being transported to the hospital following a two-vehicle accident Wednesday.
Door County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the crash on County Highway Q near Birch Road in Baileys Harbor shortly after 3 p.m.
According to the incident report, the woman was driving south on the highway when she looked away from the road to adjust her radio. When she looked back up, she struck a legally parked truck on the side of the road before skidding and spinning toward the middle of the highway.
Her car had to be towed due to disabling damage, while she was taken to Door County Medical Center for further treatment. She was cited for inattentive driving as a result of the crash.
