Red Oak Police say a teenager was injured during a collision at around 3:30-p.m. Tuesday at 1st and Corning Streets. Authorities say 16-year old Alyssa Resh, of Red Oak, suffered minor facial injuries due to an airbag deployment that occurred when the car she was driving was struck on the passenger side. She was not transported to the hospital, though.

Resh was driving a 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix northbound on 1st street, and did not come to a complete stop at the stop sign. She pulled into the intersection with Corning Street and was struck broadside by a 2006 Ford truck that was traveling westbound, and was driven by 43-year old Edward D. Strickland, of Red Oak.

The car came to rest in a yard and knocked down a stop sign. Strickland, and a passenger in Resh’ car, were not hurt. Resh was cited for Failure to Yield from a stop sign. Strickland was cited for having no valid driver’s license. Damage from the accident amounted to $6,100.
