Sturgeon Bay woman injured in single-vehicle crash
A possible seizure is to blame for a Sturgeon Bay woman in her 20s being taken to a hospital after crashing her vehicle Monday morning. After 9:30 a.m., the Door County Sheriff’s Department, Brussels-Union Emergency Medical Responders, and Door County Emergency were called to State Highway 57 near County Y in the Town of Union after the woman’s cellphone called 911 following a crash detection. According to the accident report, emergency personnel discovered the woman having a seizure when they arrived on the scene. It is suggested that the woman drifted from the southbound lanes towards the grassy median when it struck a guardrail and posts before resting in the ditch. The woman was transported to a Green Bay hospital for treatment for a possible injury while the owner of the vehicle was contacted, and the vehicle itself was towed.
