The Iowa State Patrol says a teen from Ringgold County was injured during a two-vehicle collision north of Redding, Friday afternoon. 16-year old Baylee Love, of Redding, who was wearing a seat belt, was transported by Ringgold County Ambulance to the hospital in Mount Ayr, after the 1997 Pontiac he was driving was hit by a 2001 Mack truck.There was no report on his condition.

The accident happened just before 4-p.m. when the driver of the truck, 46-year old James Stonehocker, of Afton, failed to yield half of the roadway as he was traveling eastbound on 280th Street, near the intersection with Ringgold County Road P-27.

After the truck hit the car, the truck stopped on the road, while the car entered the north ditch and came to rest.
