Authorities in Union County say no injuries were reported after a four-vehicle accident took place in Creston, Wednesday. Officials say at around 6:23-p.m., a 2006 Ford Taurus driven by a 16-year old male from Creston, was traveling south on S. Chestnut Street, when the car went out of control. The vehicle traversed an embankment and into a storage facility parking lot near Clark and S. Chestnut streets, where it hit the rear of a 2021 Rockwood travel trailer, pushing it forward. The Ford continued out of control and struck a 2006 Chevy Cobalt, pushing it into a 1992 BornFree motorhome.  Damage to the recreational vehicles/campers amounted to $6,000. The Taurus sustained $1,000 damage.

Creston Police say the accident happened after the Taurus came out from the underpass that had standing water from a storm that occurred Tuesday night, and the vehicles’ tires were wet. No citations were issued.
