Fallen tree shatters windshield of work truck

The Door County Sheriff’s Department is calling it an act of God that caused a tree to fall across State Highway 57 on Sunday and into the windshield of an oncoming truck.

 

The incident occurred shortly before 10:30 a.m. on State Highway 57 near Logerquist Road.

 

According to the accident report, the truck was traveling north when a tree suddenly came crashing down. The tree struck the front end and windshield of the truck, shattering the glass and damaging the vehicle.

 

When deputies arrived, the driver, a 40-year-old Sturgeon Bay woman, and her passenger, a 53-year-old Sturgeon Bay man, were covered in glass shards.

 

The man suffered minor facial lacerations in the crash but refused medical treatment.

 

The highway was closed in one direction for about 30 minutes while crews removed the tree and the damaged vehicle.
