(Creston, Iowa) [Corrects drivers age to 15, not 14]- Officials with the Creston Police Department say no injuries were reported after three vehicles in the Creston High School parking lot were damaged in a collision Tuesday morning. Authorities say 2009 Ford F-150 pickup and 2007 Chevy Silverado pickup were legally parked in opposite parking stalls, when the 15-year-old driver of a 2001 Chevy K3500 Silverado pickup, who is from Diagonal, attempted to pull into a parking space next to the 2007 pickup. Due to the tight space in the parking stall, the 2001 pickup struck the 2007 truck, and got hung-up, causing functional damage.

The driver of Chevy K3500 pickup then attempted to back-up, but his vehicle made contact with the 2009 Ford pickup, causing minor damage to the rear bumper and exhaust. Damage from the mishap amounted a police estimated total of $6,500 damage. There were no citations issued.
