The Union County Sheriff’s Office says no injuries were reported following two recent, separate accidents. Officials say 20-year old Adam Hoffman, of Creston, was driving a 2010 Chevy Impala southbound on Yellow Rose Avenue at around 5:20-a.m. today (Thursday), when his vehicle met a 2000 Chevy driven by 50-year old Melissa Rodden, of Murray, at the crest of a hill. Both vehicles were in the center of the road. Hoffman swerved to avoid a collision, but Rodden’s car hit the Impala on the left rear side. Damage amounted to $4,000. No citations were issued.

The other accident in Union County happened just after 7-p.m. Wednesday, when a southbound 2003 Dodge driven by 36-year old Sheri Watters, of Shannon City, failed to stop at a stop sign for the intersection of 240th and Lark Avenue. Her car hit a 1989 dump truck driven by 29-year old Trever Tucker, of Creston, as he was traveling west on 240th. Damage from the collision amounted to $8,000. Watters was cited for Failure to Obey a Stop Sign.
