A woman from Adair County was seriously injured during a crash in Union County Wednesday afternoon. The Union County Sheriff’s Office reports 73-year old Joyce Herr, of Fontanelle, was transported by ambulance to the Greater Regional Medical Center in Creston, after her 2003 Chevy Impala collided head-on with a 2012 Hyundai Veracruz, driven by 26-year old Shanna Yenzer, of Creston. The accident happened just before 5-p.m. Wednesday, near the entrance to the Chicken Inn on Highway 34, west of Creston.

Officials say Herr was traveling east on Highway 34 and turning left into the restaurant driveway, and failed to yield to the westbound Hyundai. Yenzer complained of pain following the crash but was not transported to the hospital as of the time of the Sheriff’s report. Both vehicles were totaled in the crash, with the damage amounting to $15,000.
