Red Oak Police investigated two, non-injury accidents that took place Monday afternoon. At around 2:20-p.m., a 2011 Ford F-250 driven by 63-year old Thomas Leroy Bronk, of Red Oak, was traveling behind a 2015 GMC SUV driven by 92-year old Harlan Ebert, of Red Oak, when Ebert, who had stopped at the intersection of N. 8th and E. Corning Streets, began to pull into the intersection, but was forced to stop for a vehicle traveling on E. Corning Street. When Bronk failed to see Ebert had come to a complete stop, his pickup hit the rear of the SUV. Red Oak Police cited Bronk for Following too close. There was no damage to the pickup, but Ebert’s vehicle sustained $1,000 damage.

Authorities say a 2000 Jeep Compass SUV driven by 17-year old Anna Marie Vandrey, of Red Oak, was southbound on N. 1st Street, approaching the stop sign. A 2006 Chevy Silverado pickup driven by 65-year old Michael Lynn Irvin, of Hastings, was eastbound and proceeding through the intersection. Police say Vandrey failed to yield from the stop sign and struck the pickup on the left front fender, causing a total of $4,500 damage.
