Authorities say a Red Oak woman suffered minor injuries during a collision Wednesday afternoon at the intersection of North 8th Street and East Senate Avenue, in Red Oak. 73-year old Carroll Gary hit her head when her 2014 KIA Optima was hit by a 1997 Dodge pickup. Gary was checked out by Red Oak Rescue personnel, but refused transport to the hospital. The driver of the pickup, 82-year old Delaine Lundgren, of Red Oak, was cited for Failure to stop at a Stop sign.
Officials say Lundgren’s truck was traveling east on East Senate at around 2-p.m. Wednesday, and had stopped at the stop sign with North 8th Street, but then pulled away from the sign and hit Gary’s car on the driver’s side door. The accident happened as her car turned off of Highway 34 onto North 8th Street, headed northbound and approached the intersection with East Senate.
Damage from the collision amounted to $6,000.
