An accident late SATURDAY morning in Red Oak involving six vehicles caused a total of $16,200 damage, but no one was injured. Red Oak Police responded to the Fareway Store parking lot in Red Oak, at around 11:05-a.m., Saturday. On the scene they determined 80-year old David Howes, of Red Oak, was attempting to park his 2017 Toyota van, when his foot slipped off the brake pedal and stepped on the accelerator pedal.

The van struck a legally parked, unattended 2009 Mitsubishi owned by Michael Nelson, of Red Oak, damaging the right front quarter panel and wheel. The Toyota then struck an unoccupied, legally parked 2009 Toyota SUV owned by Harvey Birkey, of Red Oak. The impact knocked the SUV out of gear, causing it to roll south through the Fareway parking lot and over the curb into a separate parking lot, where the SUV struck a 1999 Plymouth van on the driver’s side rear. The van was registered to Shari Ann Wheeler, of Hamburg.

The impact forced the van to slide into the driver’s rear side of a 2013 Chevy Equinox SUV registered to Chavis Wise, of Red Oak. At the same time, Howes’ vehicle struck a 1997 Chevy pickup in the rear. That vehicle was registered to Tyler Jenning, of Red Oak.
