MANITOWOC, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Speed and alcohol appear to be factors in a crash that sent a man to the hospital, Manitowoc police say.
Crews were called to the 800 block of Maritime Dr. around 8:30 a.m. Thursday for a one-vehicle crash.
Officers say the vehicle, driven by a 26-year-old Manitowoc man, was traveling south on Maritime Dr. at Cleveland Ave. when he lost control of the vehicle and went off the roadway, striking a tree.
The driver suffered life-threatening injuries and was taken to an area hospital.
Both lanes of travel on Maritime Dr. were closed to traffic for a few hours following the crash.
The road reopened around 12:30 p.m.
The crash remains under investigation. If you have any information regarding the crash, contact the Manitowoc Police Department Shift Commander at (920) 686-6551.
