(Creston, Iowa) – The Creston Police Department says a woman reported Monday night, someone had stolen and Wii gaming device from her residence in the 200 block of N. Oak Street. The loss was estimated at $90. And, officials said Monday, no one was injured during an accident that took place last week at the intersection of Townline and Sycamore Streets. The police report said the accident happened at around 7:36-a.m. on Dec. 2nd, when a 2003 GMC pickup driven by a 15-year-old from Clearfield, was rear-ended a 2021 SUV driven by 60-year-old Kenneth Stuckey, of Creston.
Authorities say the SUV and pickup were traveling east on Townline Street, when the pickup slowed to stop in traffic for a school bus that was attempting to turn left into the Creston High School parking lot. Due to the snow covered road, the SUV was unable to stop in-time, and struck the pickup, causing a police estimated total of $4,500 damage. Both vehicles were able to be driven from the scene.
No citations were issued, however the police report said contributing factors in the collision included the SUV driving too fast for conditions, and following too closely.
