Authorities in Union County investigated two, non-injury accidents over the past few days. Late Saturday morning, vehicles driven by 17-year old Mica Graham, of Sidney, and Anthony Weeks, of Lorimor, collided at the intersection of Highways 169 and 34, causing $8,000 damage. Sheriff’s officials say when Weeks failed to yield the right of way, the 2010 Dodge Caravan collided with a 2005 Mercury Sable, driven by Graham. Weeks was cited for Failure to Yield upon making a left turn. He told authorities he didn’t see the car because of a vehicle in the turn lane.

The other accident happened just after Noon on Thursday, at the intersection of W. Howard and N. Elm Streets, in Creston. According to Police, a 2004 Chevy Malibu driven by 74-year old Maynard Madore, of Creston, was hit by a 1999 Chevy Silverado pickup driven by 48-year old Dixie Akers, of Creston, after Akers failed to obey a stop sign. Damage from the collision was estimated at $2,800.
