(Creston, Iowa) – An accident in Creston Wednesday afternoon caused a total of $3,500 damage, but no one was injured. Creston Police say a 2021 Chevy Suburban driven by 41-year-old Allison Miller, of Creston, and a 2005 Chrysler 300 driven by 36-year-old Steven Bochniak, also of Creston, were both traveling south on N. Lincoln Street at around 4-p.m., when Miller slowed to turn at the intersection of Manor Drive. Authorities say Bochniak was in the process of slowing his vehicle, when his wet sandal slipped off the brake.

His car rear-ended the Suburban. The Chrysler sustained heavy front end damage, while the Chevy sustained only minor damage. Both vehicles were able to be driven away from the scene. No citations were issued.
