The Red Oak Police Department reports a Red Oak man was cited following a hit and run accident on Tuesday afternoon. Officers responded to the scene of the accident at 2:51pm Tuesday at 6th and East Elm Street. A 1998 Ford Expedition driven by 30-year-old Jessica Renee Dady of Red Oak was westbound on Elm Street when another vehicle that was northbound on 6th Street failed to yield the right of way and struck the passenger side of the Ford. The other vehicle fled the scene after the collision. Dady was able to provide a good description of the other vehicle which officers located a short time later. That vehicle was a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee driven by 53-year-old Scott Randall Johnson of Red Oak. Johnson lied to officers about how his vehicle was damaged claiming he had hit his house. Officers then contacted Dady to have her confirm the vehicle identity and match up paint transfer. Before she arrived Johnson admitted he was involved in the accident and claimed he didn’t know he had to yield. Johnson was then issued a citation for Leaving the Scene of an Accident.

No injuries were reported during the accident. Damage to the Ford was estimated at $1,900 and damage to the Jeep was estimated at $2,000.
