(Creston, Iowa) – Police in Creston say no injuries were reported following a collision this (Monday) afternoon. Authorities say a 2008 GMC SUV driven by 61-year-old Angela Sue Smith, of Creston, was sitting at a stop light at the intersection of Sumner Street and Highway 34, in Creston. As the light turned green she proceeded forward, westbound on Highway 34.

A vehicle in the opposing lane traveling eastbound, crossed the center line of the road and caused the SUV to slow down. A 2018 Dodge RAM pickup driven by 19-year-old Tate Robben Steinhoff, of Griswold, was behind the SUV, and rear-ended the vehicle. The accident happened a little after 2-p.m.

Minor damage was reported to have occurred to both vehicles, with the dollar amount at $1,800 altogether. No citations were issued, but the report did mention Steinhoff was following too close.
