No injuries were reported following a crash in Union County Tuesday morning, but the driver of one of the vehicles was cited for a couple of moving violations. The Union County Sheriff’s Office says 27-year old Kayla Harris, of Creston, was cited for Driving While License Suspended/Denied or cancelled, and for having No Insurance – Accident related.

Officials say a 2001 Ford Taurus driven by 54-year old Clark Finehout, of Creston, was traveling north on Sumner Avenue in Creston at around 8:20-a.m., at the same time Harris was traveling east on Prairie Street. Authorities say Harris’ 1997 Ford SUV went through the intersection without yielding to the Finehout vehicle at the stop sign. She told officials she didn’t see the Taurus. Finehout said he tried to swerve and avoid the collision, but was unable to do so.

Damage from the crash amounted to $3,500.
