A van and pickup sustained damage in an accident on Monday morning near Red Oak. A utility contractor that was working on placing underground fiber was parked along side the road of 208th Street. At approximately 11:27 a.m. a 2004 Chrysler Town and Country van being driven by 73-year-old James Lawrence Bredberg of Clarinda backed out of a private drive on 208th street. In the process he didn’t see the contractor’s 2020 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup and backed the left rear bumper of the van into the left rear cab corner and front left portion of the truck box.

The van sustained approximately $1,000 damage and the pickup sustained an estimated $7,000 damage. No injuries were reported and no citations were issued at the scene.
