(Creston, Iowa) – Police in Creston say no one was injured during a collision Tuesday afternoon between two SUV’s. Authorities say a 2014 Chevy Equinox driven by 17-year-old Zoey Vandevender, of Creston, was stopped at stop sign located at the 4-way stop intersection, of Elm and Montgomery Streets in Creston, facing west.
The teen began to turn left (southbound) onto Elm Street, when her vehicle was struck by another 2014 Chevy Equinox. The driver of that SUV, 89-year-old Mary McDonald, of Creston, failed to stop as she was traveling south on Elm Street. Her vehicle hit Vandevender’s SUV in the middle of the intersection, causing minor damage to the front end of both vehicles. Both vehicles were driven away from the scene, with damage estimated by police to be around $3,000 altogether.
The accident report says while McDonald ran a stop sign, no citations were issued.
