The driver of a Chevy Lumina suffered minor, unknown injuries during a collision Tuesday evening, with a tractor. The Union County Sheriff’s Office reports the car driven by 31-year old Matthew Dylan Rinehart, of Creston, was traveling northbound on the High and Dry Road at around 5:40-p.m., Tuesday. Ahead of him was a 2008 John Deere 7320 tractor driven by 75-year old Walter Edward Glynn, of Creston. As Rinehart attempted to pass the tractor, Glynn turned left into a private driveway. A witness said the tractor had its left turn signal on.

The car hit the tractor on its front wheels, causing damage to the passenger side of the Lumina. The tractor was not damaged. Rinehart complained of pain, but was not transported to the hospital. Damage from the collision amounted to $1,000. No citations were issued.
