A 28-year-old woman learned a hard lesson about driving in flip-flops Wednesday.

While driving south about noon on Highway V in Caledonia, Kelly Ellison, 28, caught her flip-flop on something and was unable to stop at a stop sign, according to a news release from the Caledonia Police Department in Racine County.

That's when she was struck by a pickup truck towing a camel.

The truck-and-trailer traveling east on Highway G was from Jo-Don Farms, a zoo in Franksville that features camel rides and hundreds of other exotic and familiar animals to pet or rent for parties and events.

The rig went into the ditch on the south side of the road.

The driver, Nathan Gaines, 35, suffered a possible broken leg and was complaining of back pain, according to police.

Ellison and a 3-year-old boy in her car were not injured.

Neither was the camel, police said.
