Two people suffered possible/minor injuries during separate accidents Tuesday, in Union County. Sheriff’s officials say 33-year old Adam Michael Roan, of Afton, was transported by ambulance to the Greater Regional Medical Center in Creston, after the vehicle he was driving entered a ditch and struck a culvert. The accident happened at around 7:40-p.m. as Roan was traveling south on Palomino Drive.

Authorities say he was talking on the phone when he met a car that kicked up dust and impaired visibility. Roan’s 2004 Dodge pickup got too close to the ditch before it entered the west side of the ditch and hit the culvert. Damage to the vehicle was estimated at $4,000.

The other accident happened at around 3:35-p.m., Tuesday, in the Bunn-O-Matic parking lot, in Creston. Officials say Christopher Paul Kuhn, of Greenfield, was walking out into the parking after getting off work, when, as he walked around the front a vehicle waiting to pull out of a parking stall, was struck in the left knee, when the vehicle pulled out. The accident caused Kuhn to fall to the ground with a possible knee injury. He was transported to the Creston hospital by ambulance to be checked out.

The driver of the vehicle that struck him, 27-year old William Anthony Graham, of Creston, told authorities he didn’t see Kuhn walking around his 2014 Chevy  Cruz before he pulled out of the parking stall. No citations were issued.
