(Creston, IA) – The Creston Police Department says no injuries were reported following a collision this (Thursday) morning at the intersection of Howard and Cherry Streets. The accident happened at around 8:10-a.m. Authorities say a 2020 Honda Fit driven by 56-year-old Kathryn Branch, of Creston, was traveling east on Howard Street and a 2006 Chevy pickup driven by a 17-year-old male from Greenfield, was traveling south on Cherry Street.

Branch told Officers she looked, but did not see the pickup truck. She added that the sun was in her eyes. Her vehicle hit the pickup on the right front side. The impact caused the airbag in the Honda to deploy. Both vehicles were disabled by the collision, which caused an estimated $10,000 damage altogether. No citations were issued,
