(Red Oak, Iowa) – Police in Red Oak cited a man following a property-damage accident this (Wednesday) morning. Authorities say at around 7:17-a.m., Police were called to the 100 block of W. Linden Street, for a reported two-vehicle accident.

During an investigation, officers determined a 2008 Accura TSX driven by 31-year-old Dalton D. Holbrook, of Elliott, was traveling eastbound on W. Linden. A 2015 Chrysler Town and Country van driven by 86-year-old Lorell Gene Viner, of Red Oak, was westbound on W. Linden.  When Viner turned left to enter the Burger King parking lot, he failed to yield, and his van struck the car. He was also driving a vehicle with an obstructed view, due to frost on the windshield.

Viner was issued a written warning for Failure to Yield Upon Left Hand Turn, and driving with obstructed vision. The vehicles sustained an estimated $5,000 damage each. No injuries were reported.
