Officials say at around 3:55-p.m. Friday, 21-year old Shandi Christine Brown, of Creston, was “Emotional” as she was driving a 2000 Dodge Neon and following her boyfriend’s vehicle westbound on Prairie Street. Witnesses said the woman was traveling at a high rate of speed and as she approached the stop sign at the 4 lane intersection with N. Sumner Street, failed to stop. She laid down some skid marks prior to failing to yield, but her vehicle hit a 2012 Mazda CX9, which was traveling north on N. Sumner, and preparing to turn left. The driver of the Mazda was 34-year old David James Crawford, of Creston. Damage from the collision amounted to $11,000. Officers cited Brown for Failure to Obey a Stop or Yield sign and Failure to show proof of insurance.

The other accident happened at around 8:30-a.m April 5th, when a car driven by 21-year old Malachi Xavier Canada, of Creston, failed to stop for the red traffic light at the intersection of W. Prairie and N. Elm Streets. The 1999 Pontiac he was driving struck a 2013 Ford SUV driven by 53-year old Mark Chubick, of Creston. Following the collision, Canada left the scene, but when located by Police, gave a story that falsely identified the occupants of the other vehicle. Canada was cited for Failure to have a valid driver’s license and failure to obey a traffic control signal. Damage from the collision amounted to $4,300.
