One person was injured during a collision Monday afternoon, in Red Oak. Authorities say the accident happened at around 1:30-p.m., at the intersection of Highway 34 and N. 4th Street, where a 2006 GMC pickup driven by 20-year old Garrett Leighton, of Griswold, was stopped at the controlled intersection on the north side, and a 1998 Toyota Avalon driven by 49-year old Shauna Berendes, of Red Oak, was traveling east on Highway 34.

As the car approached the intersection, the pickup – registered to Gary Leighton, of Griswold – proceeded to head south across the intersection, into the path of the car. Berendes was unable to avoid the truck, and struck the vehicle on the passenger side door. Berendes suffered suspected minor/non-incapacitating injuries, and was transported by Red Oak Rescue to the Montgomery County Memorial Hospital for treatment.

Damage from the collision amounted to $13,000. Police cited Leighton for Failure to Obey a Stop Sign and Yield the Right-of-Way.
