Authorities in Red Oak say a crash between two vehicles Thursday afternoon at the intersection of north 8th Street and east Chautauqua Drive, was caused by slick road conditions. No one was injured when vehicles driven by 36-year old Sue Baier and 24-year old Marie Childs, both of Red Oak, collided at around 12:35-p.m.

Officials say Baier’s 2011 Nissan Versa was traveling west on east Chautauqua, and due to the ice and snow covered roads, could not stop at the intersection. Her vehicle slide through the intersection and hit a southbound 2004 Kia Sedona, driven by Childs. Damage amounted to $5,700. No citations were issued.
