2 multi-vehicle accidents in Creston, Friday

News

May 18th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

Police in Creston say no injuries were reported following two, separate multi-vehicle accidents that occurred within 45 minutes of each other, Friday. The first crash happened at around 4-p.m., on west Adams Street.

Authorities say vehicles driven by 27-year old Kayla Mensing, of Greenfield, 62-year old Susan Rinkert, and 73-year old Hubert Bradley, both of Creston, were traveling west on west Adams. The stoplight at the end of the block at the intersection with Sumner Street was red. Mensing and Rinkert were stopped for the light in a long line of cars backed up to Jarvis Street. Bradley was traveling west on Adams, and didn’t expect the cars to be backed up so far. His 2006 Chrysler mini-van rear-ended Rinkert’s 2005 Mercury Sable, causing her vehicle to hit the rear of Mensing’s 2015 Chevy Equinox. Damage from the collisions amounted to $1,700. No citations were issued.

The second accident happened at around 4:45-p.m., Friday. Creston Police said a 2003 Chevy Trailblazer driven by 43-year old Valerie Beebe, of Creston, was traveling east on Adams Street and stopped for the traffic light at the intersection with Sumner Avenue. A 2002 Chevy Cavalier driven by 61-year old Linda Buxton, of Creston, was traveling south on Sumner at the same time a 2001 Pontiac SUV driven by 17-year old Austin Nichols, of Prescott, was traveling east on Adams and stopping for the light.

Buxton swerved to avoid an unknown vehicle which was traveling north on Sumner, then turned west onto Adams. When Buxton swerved to get out of the way, her car slid and hit the Beebe and Nichols’ vehicles. All witness to the collision told police they had seen the unknown vehicle cut off Buxton’s car, and verified she tried to avoid the collision, when she hit the other vehicles. Damage from the crash amounted to $4,700. No citations were issued.
