(Creston, Iowa) – A collision in Creston Friday evening caused $500 damage to a box van and $1,500 damage to a car, but no one was injured. The Creston Police Department reports the Isuzu van driven by 40-year-old Maria Fuentes-Rodriguez, of Creston, pulled out from a stop sign at Highway 34 and Abell Street at around 6:20-p.m., in an attempt to turn east.

A 2015 Mercedes C300 driven by 40-year-old Carles Rivera, of Creston, was in the outside lane traveling east, when the van pulled out in front of the car and struck the vehicle. Rivera told police he was going to a convenience store to get some food, and did not have his turn signal on, but Rodriguez said Rivera’s turn signal was on, but that she though he was going to turn east onto Abell Street, which is why she pulled out onto the highway.

There were no citations issued.
