Two people who were passengers in a 2002 Chevy Impala, were injured Monday when the car they were riding in was broadsided, in Creston. Police say the Impala was driven by 19-year old Tyson William Hunter, of Orient. Hunter was westbound on Fremont Street in Creston a little before 2-p.m., when his car was hit by a 2008 Cadillac Escalade being driven by 46-year old Maria De Lourdes Lepe-Rodriguez, of Creston. Lepe-Rodriguez was traveling south on Division Street and had stopped at the intersection, looked, but did not see the approaching Impala before her SUV proceeded into the intersection, striking the car.

18-year old Corbin Loudermilk and 17-year old Jeremiah Whitney, both of Creston, suffered minor/non-incapacitating injuries, and transported by ambulance to the hospital in Creston for treatment.  Lepe-Rodriguez was cited for Failure to Obey a Stop Sign and Yield the Right of Way. Damage from the crash amounted to $4,000.
