Red Oak Police say no injuries were reported following two separate accidents, Thursday afternoon and evening. Just after 6-p.m. vehicles driven by 41-year old Joshua Roberts and 29-year old Vannesa Rene Lasley, both of Red Oak, collided at the intersection of E. Joy and N. 2nd Streets. Officials say Roberts was traveling east on E. Joy Street, while Lasley was traveling north on N. 2nd Street. Roberts said there was a man in a third vehicle on N. 2nd Street facing southbound. As the man was waving his arms, Roberts’ pickup and Lasley’s car collided in the intersection. Damage to both vehicles amounted to $2,000. No citations were issued.

The second accident happened at around 3:30-p.m., in the 600 block of Highland Avenue, in Red Oak. Police say a car driven by 40-year old Jeanette Eggerss, of Red Oak, was traveling north on N. Highland Avenue, when a pickup driven by 33-year old Terry Yoakum, of Red Oak, began to back out of a driveway. The pickup backed into the side of Eggerss’ car, causing a total of $5,400 damage. There were no citations issued.

And, no injuries were reported following an accident that happened at around 11:15-a.m. Thursday, in Creston. Police say a van driven by 31-year old Susan Heslop, of Creston, was turning left onto Wyoming Street, when Heslop momentarily looked away from the road at something in her car. As she did so, she turned too wide, and struck a legally parked car. Damage from the collision amounted to $4,000. No citations were issued.
