Two people were injured during an accident that occurred a little after 7-a.m. Monday, in Creston. Authorities say a 2000 Chevy Blazer driven by 19-year old Nathaniel L. Fletchall, of Mt. Ayr, was traveling west on Taylor Street in Creston, and was making a left turn with a green light onto Sumner Street, when the SUV struck an eastbound  2015 Chevy Equinox driven by 60-year old Jane A. Briley, of Creston. Briley also had a green light at the intersection.

Fletchall suffered suspected, serious injuries, but was not transported to the hospital. Briley was transported to the Greater Regional Medical Center in Creston by ground EMS, for treatment of suspected, minor injuries. Police cited Fletchall for Failure to Yield upon making a left turn, and failure to provide proof of insurance, accident related. Authorities said speed was a factor in the crash. Damage to the vehicles amounted to $5,000.
