(Creston, Iowa) – Police in Creston say no injuries were reported following a collision at around 12:35-p.m. today (Tuesday), at the intersection of Elm and Summit Streets. According to the report, a 2012 Chrysler Town & Country van driven by 20-year-old Destani Rose Richardson, of Creston, was traveling east on Summit Street, and was approaching Elm Street.

North-and south-bound traffic on Elm does not have a stop sign. Police say Richardson failed to yield the right-of-way to a northbound 2012 Infiniti QX56 SUV, driven by 29-year-old Jenna Leigh Crago, of Creston. Richardson told police she didn’t see the SUV. Crago told authorities she saw the van approach the stop sign and thought it was going to stop, but the van entered the intersection and struck the SUV on the left rear side tire.

The van sustained minor damage ($2,500), and the SUV sustained disabling damage (estimated at $5,000). Creston Police cited Richardson for Failure To Yield.
