A 65-year-old Sturgeon Bay woman was injured and cited following a two-vehicle crash in Ephraim on Friday morning.
The crash occurred just after 7:45 a.m. on State Highway 42 near Meadow Lane. According to the crash report, the Sturgeon Bay woman was traveling behind a pickup truck driven by a 46-year-old Baileys Harbor woman.
The Baileys Harbor woman told deputies the Sturgeon Bay woman had been following her too closely as they drove through downtown Ephraim. When the Sturgeon Bay woman allegedly attempted to pass in a no-passing zone, the Baileys Harbor woman brake-checked, and the Sturgeon Bay woman's vehicle struck the rear of the pickup.
The Sturgeon Bay woman admitted she had been following too closely because she believed the pickup was traveling below the speed limit. She also told deputies she was not wearing a seat belt and struck her head on the steering wheel during the crash.
She was transported to Door County Medical Center for treatment and was cited for failing to wear a seat belt. The Baileys Harbor woman was not cited in connection with the crash.
