Police in Red Oak cited a man following a non-injury accident Saturday evening. Authorities say 30-year old Jerry Lee Lievsay, of Red Oak, was cited for Failure to Provide Proof of Insurance and Failure to Yield. He was also given a warning for fraudulent use of registration.

The accident happened at around 6:05-p.m., as a 2020 Chevy Equinox driven by 60-year old Debra Sue Robertson, of Clarinda, was traveling east on Highway 34. She signaled to turn merge into the far right lane. A 2006 Dodge Durango driven by Lievsay, was northbound on N. 8th Street at the stop sign.

Lievsay continued into the intersection, where his vehicle struck the Equinox in the rear quarter panel. During the impact, airbags in the Chevy deployed. The vehicle came to rest in the middle of Highway 34. The SUV spun around and came to rest facing south on N. 8th Street. Damage from the crash amounted to $6,600, with the Chevy declared a total loss.
