Three people were injured during a collision Wednesday night, in Creston. Authorities say 17-year old Kristie Hallett, of Creston, and a passenger in her car, 21-year old Travis Kifer, of Grinnell, were transported by ambulance to the Greater Regional Medical Center following the crash that happened at around 9:40-p.m.

Officials say the accident occurred when 24-year old Ismael Ornelas, of Creston, failed to stop at the intersection of Sumner Avenue and W. Prairie Street.  His 2004 Cadillac Escalade collided with the passenger side of a 1997 Pontiac Grand Am, driven by Hallett. Ornelas complained of back pain following the crash, but was not transported to the hospital. He was cited for Failure to Obey a Stop Sign.

Damage from the crash amounted to $2,200.
