A passenger in an SUV was injured during a collision Sunday evening in Red Oak. Red Oak Police say 11-year old Kiley Jolene Steinman, of Red Oak, complained of back pain, was transported to the Montgomery County Memorial Hospital by private vehicle. Authorities say the collision happened at around 6:10-p.m., at the intersection of Highways 34 and 48, when a 2001 Chevy pickup driven by 16-year old Lukas Daniel Moore, of Emerson, struck the rear passenger door on a 2007 Hyundai Tucson, driven by 37-year old Mindy Lynn Riibe, of Red Oak.

The accident occurred when Moore’s foot slipped off the brake as he was approaching the intersection from Highway 34, and Riibe was traveling north on Highway 48 with the right of way. Moore was cited for Failure to Obey a Stop Sign or Yield the Right of Way.
