Authorities say no injuries were reported following a collision between a car and semi Thursday, in Creston. The accident happened at around 1:25-p.m. on Highway 34, when a 2015 Kia Cadenza driven by 54-year-old Caroline Esther Bathurst of Creston was traveling east on Highway 34 in the center lane, and attempted to change lanes into the outside lane. Her car collided with a semi traveling the same direction.

According to a passenger in the Kia, the Semi continued east and didn’t stop after the accident. Bathurst pulled her vehicle off into the nearby John Deere parking lot. When Creston Police asked Bathurst if she was okay, she initially did not respond and rolled up the window. After being asked several times to roll down the window down, she eventually admitted that she did not have insurance on the vehicle and wanted to drive the vehicle home. The car was determined to be okay to drive. It sustained an estimated $7,000 damage. Bathurst was issued a citation for no insurance and was allowed to drive her vehicle home from the scene.
