The Red Oak Police Department reports a two-vehicle accident occurred on Friday evening. The accident happened at 7:30pm at the intersection of Highway 48 and Ratliff Road. Two vehicles were traveling North on Highway 48 approaching the intersection with Ratliff Road when the first vehicle slowed to turn and the second rear-ended him. The first vehicle was a 2001 Chevy S10 pickup driven by 20-year-old Reece Spooner of Council Bluffs.  Spooner’s Chevy was hit by a 2012 Ford Fusion driven by 18-year-old Heath Ogg of Elliott. Ogg did not see Spooner slowing down intially and was too close to avoid the collision. Ogg’s Ford was towed from the scene due to an antifreeze leak and sustained an estimated $5,000 damage. Spooner’s Chevy sustained just an estimated $50 damage. No injuries were reported.
