The drivers of two vehicles suffered what were described as “Suspected minor/non-incapacitating” injuries, following a collision that occurred in Creston  at around 3:20-p.m., Thursday, in the 900 block of N. Sumner Street. Authorities say a 2006 Chevy Impala driven by 16-year old Brooklyn Nicole Bolinger, of Creston, was traveling southbound at the same time a 2015 Buick Encore driven by 68-year old Penny Lea Carson, of Creston, was traveling northbound.

When Carson attempted to make a left turn, Bolinger failed to see the Buick and hit the vehicles’ front end. The impact caused the airbags to be deployed on both vehicles. The Impala sustained major damage during the collision (estimated at $6,000) and will likely be totaled. The Buick also sustained major front end damage (estimated at $6,000), and was also a likely total loss, according to authorities. Both drivers refused medical treatment. No citations were reported.
