Officials with the Creston Police Department have released information with regard to an injury accident that took place at around 7:15-p.m. August 27th, at the intersection of Highway 25 and Sumner Avenue, in Creston. Authorites say a 2011 Nissan Maxima SUV driven by 15-year-old Jayden Zaragoza, of Lenox, was traveling west on Highway 34, when the vehicle proceeded to turn south onto Sumner Avenue, in front of an eastbound 2013 VW Passat, driven by 45-year-old Jeffrey Alan Adams, of Leon.

The VW struck the Nissan on the front passenger side. While there were no declared injuries at the time of the investigation, police learned Adams and his passenger complained of neck and back pain, and transported themselves to the hospital in Creston, to be checked out.

Creston Police cited Zaragoza for Failure to Yield the right of way on a left turn, and issued a written warning for violating the terms of his instruction permit, by not having an adult with him in the vehicle. Damage from the collision amounted to $2,000.
