Police in Creston say no injuries were reported following an accident early Saturday afternoon at the intersection of S. Peterson and W. Jefferson Streets. Authorities say a 1987 Ford Taurus driven by 88-year old Marjary Maxine Lowe, of Creston, was southbound on S. Peterson and had stopped at the intersection before proceeding to continue south, when the car hit a 2008 Kia Optima, driven by 19-year old Carson Joe Wheat, of Orient. Wheat was traveling east on W. Jefferson, when his vehicle was struck on the driver’s side door.

Officials say the accident happened at around Noon, Saturday. A parked vehicle on Jefferson near the intersection blocked Lowe’s view, which contributed to the crash. No citations were issued. Damage to the vehicles amounted to $2,600.
