(Creston, Iowa) – Police in Creston say no injuries were reported following a collision between a motorcycle and an SUV Friday evening. Authorities say a 2006 Jeep Liberty SUV driven by 66-year-old Debra Jean Hunderaker, of Creston, had pulled into a parking lot off of Sumner Street, then began to exit. Hunderaker said the sun was in her eyes, and she didn’t see a 2003 Harley Davidson motorcycle operated by 67-year-old Rickie Allen Klos, of Afton.

The SUV then turned back into the driveway, and as it was pulling in, was struck on the driver’s side door, by the motorcycle. The accident happened at around 6:50-p.m., Friday.

Klos told Creston Police he saw the SUV pull out, then thought it was stopping on the side of the road. When he attempted to pass the SUV, the vehicle turned in front of him towards the driveway.

Damage to the SUV was estimated at $1,000. The motorcycle sustained $5,000 damage. No citations were issued.
