The Union County Sheriff’s Office says no serious injuries were reported following an accident late Monday morning on the east side of Creston, near Wellman Dynamics. Authorities say vehicles driven by 17-year old Jared Ryan Long, of Ankeny, and 42-year old Michell Dewayne Grossoehme, of Clarinda, collided at around 11:20-a.m. at the intersection of Highway 34 and Pole Road.

The accident happened when a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 pickup driven by Long stopped at the stop sign as he was headed north on Pole Road, but then proceeded into the intersection. The pickup struck an eastbound 2006 Ford Expedition, driven by Grossoehme, in the middle of the intersection.

Neither driver was injured, but a passenger in Long’s pickup, 17-year old Sam Carstensen, of Elkhart, and a passenger in the Ford, 10-year old Bryson Grossoehme, of Clarinda, suffered suspected, minor injuries that did not require transport to the hospital. All the vehicles’ occupants were wearing their seat belts.

Damage from the collision amounted to $12,000. Authorities say Long was cited for Failure to Obey a Stop Sign and Yield the Right of Way.
