(Red Oak, Iowa) – An accident Wednesday afternoon in Red Oak, caused about $1,000 damage to a SWITA bus and $2,500 to a car, but no injuries were reported. Authorities say a 2017 Ford El Dorado transit van owned by Southwest Iowa Transit and driven by Larry Bruce Anderson, of Red Oak, was traveling north in the 700 block of N. 6th Street at around 3:15-p.m. When van went around a legally parked 2011 Honda Accord owned by Nathan Lamb, of Rogers, Arkansas, the vehicle began to drift back into its correct lane of travel too soon. The result was the back right fender of the transit van coming into contact with the parked car.

No citations were issued.
