Two teenagers were seriously injured last night in a passenger vehicle versus go-kart crash in the Town of Two Rivers.
Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Deputies and EMS personnel were dispatched to the 7000 block of Manitou Drive just before 8 p.m. A preliminary investigation indicates that a 38-year-old Kewaunee man was traveling southbound on Manitou Drive. As he attempted to make a left turn into a driveway he collided with a go-kart traveling northbound operated by a 13-year-old boy. He along with a 14-year-old passenger were not wearing helmets or seatbelts. The go-kart did not have any lighting or reflective markings and both occupants were wearing dark clothing.
The 13-year-old was airlifted to St. Vincent Hospital in Green Bay for what is being termed as “serious injuries” while the 14-year-old was transported by ambulance to Aurora Bay Care in Green Bay for serious but non-life-threatening injuries. The 38-year-old Kewaunee man was not injured. Alcohol does not appear to be a contributing factor.
Names of those involved are not being released at this time and the accident remains under investigation.
