(Creston, Iowa) – A collision Wednesday morning in Creston left two vehicles disabled, but no one was hurt. According to the Creston Police Department, 37-year-old Andrew J. Putz, of Greenfield, was driving a pickup northbound in the inside lane on N. Sumner Street at around 10:25-a.m, when he noticed an ambulance with visible lights and siren activated, traveling north on Sumner, coming up behind him.

Putz immediately merged over to the outside lane, unaware an SUV was next to him before he merged. The front bumper of the pickup caught the front driver’s side corner of a trailer being pulled by the SUV, driven by 67-year-old Danny Lee McIntosh, of Creston.

Damage to Putz’ 2016 GMC pickup was estimated at $4,000, according to police. The 2002 Ford Explorer SUV sustained $3,000 damage. While no citations were issued, the report said Putz’s failure to yield the right-of-way was a contributing factor in the accident.
