A collision this (Monday) morning between a pickup truck and an SUV in Union County resulted in suspected serious/incapacitating injuries to the SUV driver. The Union County Sheriff’s Office reports the accident happened in dense fog at around 6:25-a.m. on Highway 25. Authorities say a 2013 Dodge Journey SUV driven by 25-year old Caleb James Reed, of Creston, was traveling north on Highway 25 with the flow of traffic, which had slowed down due to the foggy conditions.

His SUV was struck from behind by a 2013 Ford F-250 pickup, driven by 25-year old Alfredo Vargas-Renteria, of Denison. Authorities say Renteria, who was traveling too fast for conditions, didn’t realize Reed had slowed down. Reed was hurt, but not transported to the hospital. Both drivers were wearing their seat belts. Damage from the collision amounted to $10,000. There were no citations issued.
