One person was transported to the Greater Regional Medical Center in Creston following a collision Tuesday afternoon. Authorities say vehicles driven by 35-year old Nicholas Sprague, of Orient, and 21-year old Marissa Merrill, of Creston, collided at the intersection of East Monroe and South Vine Streets, at around 1:30-p.m., Tuesday.

According to the accident report, Merrill was traveling west on Monroe and stopped at the intersection, but then pulled out in front of the Sprague vehicle, which was traveling south on Vine Street. Sprague couldn’t stop in time. His 2000 Mazda Protege hit Merrill’s 2012 Kia on the passenger side. Merrill was extricated from her car and transported to the hospital. A report on her condition was not available.

Damage from the crash amounted to $8,000.
