Authorities say a 2013 Chevy Cruz driven by 53-year old Michelle McLaren-Hicks, of Creston, and a 2011 Chevy Malibu driven by 27-year old Chelsea Leigh Sorensen, of Creston collided, after McLaren-Hicks, who was traveling east on Howard Street and stopped at the intersection, pulled away from the stop sign.
