A deer is being blamed for setting off a series of events that sent a 27-year-old Fish Creek man to the hospital Thursday morning.
The crash occurred at 6:10 a.m. on County Highway A near Highland Road in the town of Gibraltar. According to the crash report, the man was traveling south on County A when he encountered a deer in the roadway. He swerved to avoid the deer but lost control of his vehicle, driving into a ditch and across a driveway before the vehicle rolled over and came to rest on its roof near some trees.
The man was not cited but was taken to Door County Medical Center with a suspected minor injury.
The crash closed one lane of County A for nearly an hour while crews removed the vehicle and cleared the scene. The lane reopened at 7:15 a.m.
