(Creston, Iowa) – A woman from Ringgold County complained of pain and possible injury, following an accident that occurred at around 10:20-a.m. Tuesday (Dec. 2nd), on Highway 34 near S. Sumner Avenue. The Creston Police Department reports a 2013 Volvo semi-tractor trailer driven by 33-year-old Dakota Stanton, of Bethany, MO., and a ca driven by 61-year-old Randie Kaye Ross, of Kellerton, were both traveling westbound on Highway 34, when the semi attempted to merge into the inside lane due to vehicles that were stopped at the traffic light, in the semi’s lane of travel.

Authorities say Stanton looked, but did not see Ross’ car in his side view mirror prior to attempting the merge. The passenger side of the semi’s trailer collided with the driver’s side of the car, causing severe, disabling damage to the 2002 Pontiac Bonneville.

Randie Ross was checked at the scene by medics following the collision, but was not transported to the Creston hospital. There were no citations issued. The accident caused a police-estimated $2,000 damage to the car.
