(Creston, Iowa) – A collision in Creston Thursday evening caused a police estimated, $5,500 damage, but there were no injuries. Authorities say a 2020 Chevy Equinox driven by 19-year-old Lucas Rushing, of Creston, was traveling east on Townline Street at around 6:20-p.m., and attempting to turn right onto N. Vine Street, when the SUV failed to stay in its own lane.

The vehicle struck the driver’s side of a 2003 Chevy pickup, that was stopped at a posted stop-sign at the intersection, facing north on Vine Street. The pickup was being driven by 50-year-old Adan Vega, of Creston.

Vega told police he thought the SUV was traveling faster than it should have been, before it rounded the corner and hit his pickup. No citations were issued, but the police report stated Rushing made an improper turn and failed to keep in the proper lane.

Both vehicles were driven away from the scene, following the investigation.
