Creston Police today (Friday) said a teen received two citations following a hit-and-run accident Sunday morning. Officials say 16-year old Tyreese Goodwin, of Creston, was cited for Reckless Driving, Failure to hold a valid driver’s license and failure to show proof of insurance. The citations were the result of an investigation into an accident at the intersection of W. Adams Street and Sumner Avenue.

The collision happened at around 9-a.m., Sunday, as a car driven by 70-year old Linda Huffman, of Creston, was waiting at a stop light. An SUV driven by Goodwin was traveling north on Sumner Avenue and turning left onto Adams Street, when the vehicle hit Huffman’s 2005 Buick on the rear passenger door. Goodwin then fled the scene, but officers were able to locate him and the 2005 Chevy Trailblazer he was driving.

Damage from the collision amounted to $6,500.
