Police in Creston say no injuries were reported following a chain reaction accident Tuesday afternoon. Officials say a 2010 Chevy Traverse driven by 33-year old Julie Wallace, of Creston, was stopped along with a 1999 Chrysler LHS driven by 24-year old Whitney Tridle, of Orient, as both drivers were waiting for a non-contact vehicle to turn into a driveway. A 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee, driven by 16-year old Jacob Hitz, of Creston, failed to stop in-time, and struck the rear of the Chrysler, which in turn hit the rear of the Chevy.

The accident happened at around 12:55-p.m. Tuesday on Sumner Avenue, north of the intersection with W. Adams Street. Hitz was cited for Failure to Maintain Control. Damage from the collision amounted to $4,500.
