(Red Oak, Iowa) – One person was transported to the hospital in Red Oak, early Wednesday afternoon, following a collision at the intersection of Highway 48 and Chestnut Street, in Red Oak. Authorities report a car driven by 22-year-old Tanner Burnison, of Elliott, was making a turn from Chestnut onto southbound Highway 48 at around 12:45-p.m. A pickup truck driven by 29-year-old Taylor Foster, of Renick, MO., was northbound on Highway 48 and passing another vehicle, when Foster saw Burnison’s car. Both drivers took evasive action to avoid the collision, but the left front of both vehicles collided. The car and pickup came to rest on the southbound shoulder of the road.

Burnison complained of pain and possible injury. He was transported by private vehicle to the Montgomery County Memorial Hospital. Damage from the collision amounted to a police-estimated $10,000 altogether. There were no citations issued.
