(Red Oak, Iowa) – A collision in Red Oak, Thursday afternoon, caused $11,000 damage, but no injuries were reported. According to Red Oak Police, the accident happened a little after 2-p.m., at the intersection of N. 8th and E. Coolbaugh Streets. The Police report says 79-year-old Jane Roberta Waltz, of Red Oak, was driving a 2016 Chevy Equinox on E. Coolbaugh Street, and attempting to turn north onto 8th Street. When she stopped at the intersection and then pulled-out, Waltz failed to notice a 2020 Toyota Corolla traveling northbound on 8th, and driven by 52-year-old Christina Marie Gresham, of Red Oak.

The right front side of Waltz’ SUV struck the car on the left rear side, causing the Toyota to slide into a street sign and scrape a fire hydrant. Red Oak Police cited Waltz for Failure to Obey a Stop Sign and Yield the Right-Of-Way. The report also noted Waltz should have a reexamination of her driving skills, due to “poor driving skills possibly due to eyesight and age.”
