Authorities in Union County say a Creston man was cited following a collision late Thursday morning. 29-year old Jordan Lee Hoag, of Creston, was driving a 2004 Ford Ranger pickup northbound on Sycamore Street at around 11:38-a.m., when he dropped his cell phone onto the floor. After he leaned over to pick the phone up, he looked up and saw his pickup was on the other side of the road.

The vehicle was about to strike a parked 2000 Ford Taurus when Hoag turned to the right. He was unable to avoid striking the car head-on. Hoag then backed up and drove about half of a block before parking in a driveway.

He was cited for Left of Center, Leaving the Scene of an Accident, and Use of Electronic Communication. Damage from the collision amounted to $3,500.
