(Creston, IA) – A distracted driver lost control of their car Saturday afternoon in Union County, resulting in a rollover accident. The Union County Sheriff’s Office reports the 16-year-old female from Creston was traveling north on the High and Dry Road at around 12:47-p.m., Saturday, when she received a message on the center console screen in the 2015 Ford Taurus she was driving.

When the teen went to clear the message, the car entered the gravel portion of the shoulder. When the driver attempted to get the vehicle back onto the road she over-corrected, causing the car to cross the center line, into the opposite lane. The car went into the west side ditch and rolled over, causing a sheriff’s estimated $15,000 (Severe) damage to the vehicle.

Both the driver’s and passenger side curtain airbags deployed, and the windshield was pushed-in, according to the report. The teen denied any injuries when she was checked by medics. No citations were issued.
