Police in Creston say a woman was injured during a collision that took place at around 12:50-p.m., Tuesday. Authorities say a 2016 VW Tiguan (SUV) driven by 61-year old Mark Miller, of Winterset, was traveling west in the left lane of Highway 34, when a 2007 Chevy Malibu driven by 84-year old Donna Thaden, of Creston, pulled out of a private driveway and turned right to head west on Highway 34.

When Thaden turned to the outside lane, her vehicle was hit on the left front side by the SUV, causing the airbags on the Chevy to be deployed. Thaden was extricated from her vehicle and transported by ambulance to the Greater Regional Medical Center, in Creston.
