(Creston, Iowa) – Officials with the Creston Police Department say an accident at around 11:35-a.m. today (Monday), caused a police estimated total of $10,500 damage, but no one was injured. According to the report, a 1999 Dodge pickup driven by 45-year-old Jason Carleton, of Creston, was traveling east on Highway 34. A 2019 Ford SUV driven by 66-year-old Clara Putz, of Macksburg, was westbound on the highway.

Carleton was waiting for another vehicle to turn south so his pickup could turn north. He then turned north but didn’t see the SUV. The Ford Expedition driven by Clara Putz struck the rear bumper of the pickup. The bulk of the damage was sustained by the SUV.

There were no citations issued, but the report noted Carleton failed to yield the right-of-way while making a left turn.
