The Union County Sheriff’s Office reports a female passenger in a vehicle that was involved in an accident late Tuesday morning, complained of pain, but was not transported to the hospital. Authorities say the 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix driven by 24-year old Aaron Michael Cox, of Corning, was traveling west on Cromwell Road at around 11:40-p.m., Tuesday, when the car went out of control due to its speed. An argument between Cox and his passenger, 23-year old Sara Louann Baker, of Creston, was also said to have contributed to Cox’ loss of control. Both subjects were wearing their seat belts.

When Cox slammed on the brakes, the car skidded into the south ditch. Damage to the vehicle was estimated at $4,500. No citations were issued.
