(Creston, Iowa) – A collision this (Wednesday) morning in Creston caused no one to be hurt, but resulted in $6,000 damage. Police report a 2020 Chevy Malibu driven by 18-year-old Denton Paul Lane, of Creston, was stopped at the intersection of Elm and Prairie Streets at around 11:15-a.m., and a 2012 Chevy Impala driven by 88-year-old Ralph Edward Goddard, Jr., of Creston, was traveling north on Elm Street.

Goddard did not have a stop sign. Lane told Police he saw the Impala traveling north, and thought he had enough time to turn. When he failed to yield the right-of-way leaving the stop sign, his car was struck by Goddard’s vehicle on the rear, driver’s side door. Both vehicles were able to be driven away from the scene.

The report says no citations were issued.
