(Creston, Iowa) – Officials with the Creston Police Department say a drivers’ age, and possibly impaired vision, along with sun glare, may have played a role in a non-injury accident Friday morning at the intersection of Highway 25 and Adams Street, in Creston.

Authorities said a 2004 Toyota Sienna minivan driven by 89-year-old William T. Lewis, of Carson, was turning right onto Adams Street at around 6:15-a.m. Williams told Officers that he believed a car was in his way, so he made a wide turn. His vehicle struck a 2004 Chevy pickup driven by 22-year-old Anthony Anderson, of Creston, as the pickup was sitting stationary and waiting to turn right. Anderson told Police there was a car in front of the minivan, but no vehicle on the side of the road that would have caused Lewis to turn so wide at the intersection.

Damage from the collision amounted to a police-estimated $8,000. No citations were issued.
