NORMAN G. SCHMIDT County’s traffic death toll totals nine after crash MANITOWOC – Manitowoc County lost a solid citizen when Norman Schmidt, of Manitowoc, died of massive head injuries yesterday after his motorcycle collided with an automobile in the Town of Newton. The traffic fatality brings the county’s 1986 total to nine. Schmidt was pronounced dead at 12:15 p.m. at St. Vincent Hospital in Green Bay. He was taken to Holy Family Medical Center in Manitowoc after the accident, which occurred at 8:30 a.m., to stabilize his vital signs. He was taken to St. Vincent because of the hospital’s head injury trauma center, Manitowoc County Coroner Marion Cumming explained. Apparently, Schmidt failed to yield the right-of-way when he was turning from English Lake Rd. to Highway 42, Ms. Cumming said. Schmidt was wearing a helmet. Alcohol does not appear to be factor in this case, she added. Schmidt retired from the Manitowoc Police Department about one year ago. He served as parking meter attendant for many years, Ms. Cumming said. “He was a very well-liked person in the community,” she added. Ms. Cumming said no charges are expected to be filed.
