The drivers of two vehicles suffered minor/possible injuries during a collision at around 3-p.m. Wednesday, in Creston. Police report the accident happened at the intersection of Sheldon and Sumner Streets, when a 2002 Jeep Liberty driven by 60-year old Timothy Sean Norton, of Creston, hit a 2017 Fiat broadside, causing a total of $6,000 damage. The driver of the Fiat was identified as 36-year old Paige Nicole O’Neil, of Creston.  Both Norton and O’Neil were transported to the Greater Regional Medical Center by ambulance, to be checked-out.

During the investigation, Norton claimed his traffic light had just turned yellow when he entered the intersection. O’Neil claimed she had the green light. Neither driver saw the other until it was too late. Authorities say the accident occurred close to the transition time between the red and green lights, and it is unknown which driver was at fault. No citations were issued.
