Red Oak Police say the driver of a vehicle involved in a collision at around 5:45-p.m. Monday was checked by medics but was not seriously injured. The accident happened at the intersection of 8th and Joy Streets, when a 2016 Chevy Silverado pickup driven by 56-year old Jeanne Franson, of Villisca, struck a 2009 Nissan Murano driven by 43-year old Shirley Urich, of Red Oak. Authorities say the crash happened when Franson failed to yield at the intersection. Her pickup struck the Murano on the passenger side front door. The impact caused the Nissan to spin 180 degrees on the roadway. Airbags deployed on both vehicles. Urich was checked out by medics but did not require transport to the hospital. Franson was cited for Failure to Obey a Stop or Yield sign.

Damage from the crash amounted to $9,000.
