Red Oak Police report one person complained of pain but was not transported to the hospital, following an accident that happened at around 8:14-a.m. today (Tuesday). Officials say 29-year old Amber Nicole Gonzalez, of Red Oak, was driving a 2003 Dodge Caravan northbound on N. 8th Street, and had stopped at the intersection with E. Corning Street. She proceeded into the intersection, where her vehicle was struck by a westbound 2009 Ford pickup, driven by 65-year old Lloyd Leon Youngberg, of Red Oak.

Gonzalez told police that because of the ice, she could not get across the intersection. She was issued a written warning for Failure to Obey a Stop Sign. Damage from the collision amounted to $8,000. Gonzalez, who was wearing her seat belt, complained of pain, but refused transport to the hospital.
