Sturgeon Bay teen injured in two-vehicle accident

An 81-year-old Forestville man was cited for failing to yield when emerging from a non-highway access point Friday night after he struck an oncoming car, injuring one of its occupants.

 

The accident occurred shortly before 6:45 p.m. on Main Street/County Highway J near Grand Avenue.

 

According to the accident report, the Forestville man was attempting to exit his driveway when he drove into traffic. He tried to peek around a legally parked truck when he entered the roadway and struck a vehicle driven by a 19-year-old Sturgeon Bay woman.

 

She told the responding deputy that she saw him enter the roadway but could not brake in time.

 

Her passenger, a 14-year-old Sturgeon Bay girl, suffered a minor injury that did not require a trip to the hospital.

 

Their vehicle needed to be towed due to disabling damage, leading to one lane of traffic being closed until about 7:30 p.m., when the scene was cleared.
