State Highway 42 was closed for approximately an hour Sunday afternoon following a two-vehicle crash that sent one man to the hospital.
The crash occurred just after 1:30 p.m. on State Highway 42 near Rainbow Bridge Road in the Town of Egg Harbor.
According to the accident report released Tuesday, a 39-year-old Burlington man was waiting for oncoming traffic to clear so he could make a left turn when he noticed another vehicle quickly approaching.
That vehicle, driven by an 84-year-old Sturgeon Bay man with two Louisville, Kentucky, men as passengers, rear-ended the other car before rolling onto its roof near the side of the road.
The Sturgeon Bay man told responding deputies he was looking down before the crash and could not stop in time. Witnesses corroborated that statement, saying the vehicle did not stop before impact.
The Sturgeon Bay man was the only person transported to the hospital for additional treatment. His passengers from Louisville, along with the Burlington driver and his three family members, suffered no apparent injuries.
Both drivers were cited following the crash. The Sturgeon Bay man was ticketed for inattentive driving, while the Burlington man was cited for driving without insurance.
The highway remained closed until nearly 2:45 p.m. while the vehicles were towed and crews cleaned up the scene.
