Authorities in Union County say no injuries were reported following two separate accidents, Friday. The first happened at around 11:20-a.m. on Highway 25 North (Sumner Street), in Creston. Creston Police said a 2013 Chevy Equinox driven by 18-year-old Hazin Floyd Clayton, of Lorimor, was traveling northbound in the left lane, when the vehicle in front of him attempted to turn left. Clayton attempted to merge into the right lane, and in doing so struck a 2012 Jeep Liberty driven by 17-year-old Evy Isabelle Marlin, of Corning, as her SUV was traveling north in the right lane. Damage from the collision amounted to $2,000. No citations were issued, but Police noted Clayton made an improper or erratic lane change.

The second accident happened at around 4:50-p.m., Friday, in the Creston City limits. The Union County Sheriff’s Office says a 2018 Honda Pilot (SUV) driven by 37-year-old Jennie P. England, of Creston, and a 2023 Toyota Sequoia SUV driven by 41-year-old Jacqueline H. Welchans, of Creston, were traveling north on Highway 25 near the intersection with Montgomery Street, and had just left the stoplight at the intersection with Adams Street, when England attempted to change lanes in order to turn right at the next intersection. She didn’t see the Toyota next to her. The accident was witnessed by a Conservation Officer, who remained on the scene for officers to arrive.

Damage from the collision amounted to $2,000. Both vehicles were driven from the scene. There were no citations issued.
