A driver’s vision obscured by a frost-covered window is partially to blame for an accident Friday morning in Red Oak. According to Red Oak Police, 39-year old Lisa Jenkins, of Red Oak, was pulling out of a driveway at the Oak Creek Apartments and turning left onto east Summit Street.  Jenkins told police she had a hard time seeing due to frost on the driver’s side window of her 1999 Oldsmobile.

As she pulled out onto the road, her car was hit by a 2006 Ford F-350 pickup. The driver of the pickup, 57-year old Ryan Platt, of Emerson, tried to hit his brakes, but stepped on the gas pedal instead. Platt swerved but was unable to avoid the collision, which caused $5,600 damage. No injuries were reported.

Jenkins was cited for Failure to Yield upon entering a through highway.
