Police in Creston say no injuries were reported and no citations were issued following a collision Wednesday morning between a car and an SUV. Officials say a 2008 Chevy Impala driven by 39-year old Eric Patterson, of Creston, was traveling west on Howard Street in Creston at around 8:10-a.m., as a1997 Ford Expedition driven by 49-year old Laurie Tebbenkamp, of Creston was traveling south on Elm Street.

Patterson told police he saw the SUV with its turn signal on, and decided to proceed through the intersection. As he did so, the SUV continued to travel straight instead of turning. Tebbenkamp told police she almost came to a stop at the intersection and was trying to determine if she needed to go straight, or turn. By the time she made up her mind, Patterson’s car was right in front of her Expedition.

The vehicles collided in a t-bone fashion, causing an estimated total amount of damage at $2,600.
