(Creston, Iowa) – Officials with the Creston Police Department say no injuries were reported following a collision Thursday morning at the intersection of Prairie and Sumner Streets. The accident happened at around 9:45-a.m.  Authorities say 84-year-old Marilyn Larimore, of Creston, was driving a 2014 Buick SUV northbound on Sumner and had attempted to turn left onto Prairie Street. She turned too sharply, and struck a 2012 VW Jetta that was stopped at the stop sign, facing east on Prairie Street, and driven by 31-year-old Corina Buchanan, of Creston.

Larimore told Police she didn’t see the VW sitting at the stop sign. Police say damage from the collision amounted to $11,000 altogether. No citations were issued, but the report said Marilyn Larimore over-steered, and failed to keep in the proper lane.
