Wet road conditions and a herd of deer crossing the highway in the Town of Sevastopol are to blame for a two-vehicle crash Thursday evening, leaving one passenger injured and a driver with two citations.

The crash occurred before 8 p.m. on State Highway 57 near State Highway 42.

A 28-year-old Oconomowoc man was traveling with three others when he slowed for another southbound driver who was yielding to the deer. A Sturgeon Bay teen driving behind them attempted to stop but did not have enough space to avoid the crash.

Two of the Oconomowoc man’s passengers were unharmed, but a 40-year-old Malone man in the front seat suffered a scratch and bump to the forehead, according to the accident report.

The teen was cited for driving without insurance and following too closely.

The Door County Sheriff’s Department was able to reopen a lane of the highway shortly before 9 p.m. after one of the vehicles was towed away.
