(Creston, Iowa) – Officials with the Creston Police Department say the driver’s of two SUV’s complained of pain and possible injury, but they were not transported to the hospital, following a collision Saturday morning near the Creston High School. Authorities report a 2004 Buick Rendezvous SUV driven by 15-year-old Karlee Capson, of Creston, was stopped, facing east on Townline Road, waiting to turn north into the high school parking lot, when the vehicle was struck from behind by a 2016 Jeep Renegade SUV. The accident happened at around 9:30-a.m.

The driver of the Jeep, 20-year-old Macy Adamson, of Creston, told police she had looked down at her radio for second, before hitting the rear of the Buick. The airbags on her SUV deployed during the impact. Both drivers were wearing their seat belts.

Damage from the collision amounted to $10,000. No citations were issued, but the Police report noted Adamson was following too close, and “operator inexperience” was a factor in the accident.
