(Creston, Iowa) – Officials with the Creston Police Department say no injuries were reported following a minor accident Saturday afternoon. Authorities says 18-year-old Emmet Long, of Afton, had just picked up his prom date, and was backing a 2018 Ford F-150 out of a driveway. He didn’t see a trailer owned by a man from Minnesota parked on the side west side of Poplar Street, and consequently backed into the trailer’s wheel well, causing about $1,000 damage. The pickup – registered to Nicholas Wilkey,of Afton –  sustained about $500 damage.

Because the vehicle’s owners knew each other, the pickup and its occupants were allowed to continue to the prom. The pertinent accident information was provided to police the following day. No citations were issued.
