A woman from Creston suffered suspected minor/non-incapacitating injuries, during an accident Tuesday afternoon on Cromwell Road. The Union County Sheriff’s Office says 44-year old Colleen Ann Reed was traveling westbound at around 2:50-p.m., when a vehicle crossed the center line and she swerved to avoid hitting it. Her 2002 Buick LeSabre entered the south ditch and apparently rolled over before coming to rest. Reed – who was wearing a seat belt – became trapped in the car and was extricated by mechanical means before being transported by Medic 1 EMS to the hospital in Creston.

Her car sustained about $6,000 damage and was declared a total loss. Reed had a suspended driver’s license, but was not issued a citation at the scene.
