(Creston, Iowa) – A tire blow out on one vehicle caused $2,000 damage to another vehicle, Friday morning, in Union County. The Sheriff’s Office says a 2002 Chevy Silverado pickup driven by 55-year-old Chris Ray Pickering, of Phoenix, AZ, was traveling west on Highway 34 at around 7:30-a.m., when the left front tire blew out. The tire flew off the truck and struck the driver’s side of a westbound 2019 Dodge RAM pickup, driven by 60-year-old Thomas Aaron Day, of Creston.

No injuries were reported. The damage amounted to $2,500 altogether. Pickering was cited for failure to show proof of insurance, and a verbal warning for not registering his vehicle after having bought it on October 24th.
