(Creston, Iowa) – The Creston Police Department says there were no injuries during a collision this (Tuesday) afternoon, but a brand new car sustained several thousand dollars damage. According to the police report, a pickup truck driven by 55-year old Shawn Bakken, of Creston, was stopped at the posted T-intersection of Devoe and Sumner Streets.

Bakken saw a truck with a trailer making a right hand lane turn in the close lane/right lane, with a vehicle behind it in the same lane. A 2024 Subaru Outback driven by 49-year-old Kerri Stode, of Orient, was traveling north in the left lane. The pickup pulled out to make a left turn south, but Bakken didn’t see the Subaru on the other side of the trailer.

When the pickup pulled out in front of the car, the vehicles collided. The accident happened at around 1:50-p.m. Police say the 2021 Chevy Silverado sustained an estimated $1,000/minor damage, while the Subaru sustained damage estimated at $7,000.

The Police report said Bakken failed to yield the right-of-way from a stop sign, but there were no citations issued.
