Police in Red Oak say one person suffered possible injuries but refused medical treatment, Tuesday evening, after the SUV she was driving was struck and the air bags deployed. The accident happened at around 5:47-p.m., as a 2009 Honda Pilot driven by 23-year-old Brenna Kaye Rivers, of Shenandoah, was turning into the Red Oak Hy-Vee parking lot. A 2022 Nissan Altima rental car driven by 31-year-old Crystal Karen Durbin, of Red Oak, was preparing to turn out of the lot onto southbound Broadway Street, with a few cars stopped at the traffic light.

Another driver waiting for the light to turn green, waved Durbin out. In exiting, she didn’t see Rivers’ SUV, possibly because of the blinding sun or headlights. The car struck the SUV on the rear, passenger side, causing a total of $9,500 damage. Both drivers were examined for possible injuries. No citations were issued.
