Red Oak Police say a parking pin on an SUV’s transmission may have broken Thursday morning after the vehicle was hit, causing a strange, chain-reaction accident. Officials say Police were called to the Red Oak Depot at around 9:52-a.m. Upon arrival and investigation, officers found a 2009 Chevy HHR owned operated by 72-year old Winona C. Samuelson, of Red Oak, was in the drive at the Depot, and had struck a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee in the rear. The Jeep was parked and unoccupied. No injuries were reported.

After it was hit, the SUV started rolling eastbound down the depot drive, and struck a mailbox before hitting the curb. The vehicle then took a left turn and went down the hill to the north, where it ran into a chain link fence and finally a MidAmerican Energy-owned utility pole, before the SUV came to rest. Damage from the collisions amounted to an estimated $16,100. No citations were issued.
