One person suffered suspected minor/non-incapacitating injuries, following a collision in Creston, Monday afternoon. The Creston Police Department reports a 1998 Ford F-150 pickup driven by 33-year old Susan Lin Heslop, of Creston, was traveling north on Oak Street and had entered the intersection with Lucas Street, when she collided with a 1989 Ford Ranger pickup, driven by 46-year old Paula Marie Shimer, of Creston. The accident happened at around 2:15-p.m., as Shimer was traveling east on Lucas Street.

Authorities say Shimer had a yield sign on her side of the intersection, while there were no signs at the intersection for Heslop. The F-150 hit the Ranger on its passenger side door. Damage from the collision amounted to $2,500.

Both women were wearing their seat belts. Heslop was transported by ambulance to the Greater Regional Medical Center in Creston, to be checked and treated for injuries. Authorities say Shimer was to blame, for failing to yield, but no citations were issued.
