Two injured in STH 57 crash
Two drivers were transported to Green Bay hospitals on July 11th after a three-vehicle crash that flipped one of them. The accident occurred after 9:30 a.m. near the intersection of State Highway 57 and County DK. According to the incident report, a Sturgeon Bay man was trying to cross STH 57 from County DK when he was struck on the passenger side of his truck in the southbound lanes by a Sturgeon Bay woman. The crash's impact flipped the truck onto its side, causing it to slide across the lane. It also caused the other driver, traveling in a sports utility vehicle, to crash into a third car waiting at the stop sign. On July 12th, the Sturgeon Bay man told authorities that he was stopped in his truck in the median and never saw the sports utility vehicle before it struck him. He was cited for a failure to yield to oncoming traffic. Both the man and the woman were transported to Green Bay hospitals for treatment for suspected minor injuries, and their vehicles were towed. The third driver, a Forestville woman, was not injured in the crash and could drive away from the incident. Traffic was reportedly heavy at the time of the crash, leading to a partial closure of the roadway for over an hour while crews cleaned up.
