No injuries were reported, but a Creston woman was cited, following a collision at around 2:40-p.m. Thursday, at the intersection of W. Montgomery and N. Elm Streets, in Creston. Authorities say a Ford F-150 pickup driven by 35-year old Susan Lin Heslop, of Creston, stopped at the intersection headed south on N. Elm, but then proceeded to move ahead. In doing so, she failed to yield to a westbound 2016 Toyota Corolla, driven by 77-year old Judith Ann Weese, of Creston. Weese had also stopped at the intersection, and had the right-of-way.

Heslop’s pickup struck the Toyota on the passenger side, causing substantial damage. Heslop admitted the accident was her fault, saying she didn’t see Weese’ vehicle. Heslop was cited for Failure to Obey a Stop Sign and Failure to yield to the right. Damage from the collision amounted to $3,500.
