According to the Union County Sheriff’s Office, a 2015 Nissan Altima driven by 20-year-old Lillian G. Watkins, of Creston, was southbound on Highway 25 at around 3-p.m., when Watkins attempted to make a U-turn and proceed northbound.

A 2005 Chrysler Town & Country van, driven by 60-year-old Alan D. Lawson, of Mount City, MO., was southbound on Highway 25 behind the Nissan. Lawson attempted to pass the car as the car veered right of the roadway to begin the left U-turn.

A passenger in the van, was also injured, and transported to the hospital. An investigation determined Watkins made an unsafe turn or failure to give a signal. No citations were issued.
