One person suffered possible/unknown injuries during a single-vehicle accident Sunday afternoon, in Creston. Authorities say when officers arrived at around 3:45-p.m., they saw a 2002 Chevy K2500 pickup had struck a utility pole on Highway 34/Taylor Street. An investigation determined the pickup, driven by 28-year old Alex Richard Cunningham, of Creston, was westbound on Highway 34, when it crossed the centerline and hit the pole. Cunningham was transported to the Greater Regional Medical Center in Creston, by EMS ambulance.

When an officer went to the Emergency Room to speak with Cunningham, he acquired implied consent. Cunningham said he had not been drinking, but the officer noticed the man had blood-shot, watery eyes, and a slow, slurred speech. Various tests for alcohol intoxication levels were taken, including a urine sample. The sample will be sent to the DCI Crime lab for testing before any citation, if any, is issued. Damage from the collision amounted to $10,000.
