The Union County Sheriff’s Office reports one person complained of minor/possible injuries following a collision Tuesday morning north of Afton. Authorities say 44-year old Bobby Jo Haley, of Creston, was driving a 2016 RAM pickup eastbound on Highway 34 at around 8:15-a.m., and due to the glare on the road and the sun, did not see a 2010 Toyota Prius that was sitting in the intersection, waiting to turn left onto Creamery Road. Once Haley realized the car was in front of him, he tried to stop, but his pickup struck the rear of the car. Haley complained of pain, and was transported by ambulance to the hospital, in Creston. The driver of the Prius, 29-year old Kayliann Marie Crittenden, of Creston, was not injured.

The Prius was totaled in the collision, while the pickup sustained disabling damage. The damages amounted to about $13,000 altogether. No citations were issued.
