(Creston, Iowa) – Officials with the Creston Police Department say a woman and her child were checked-out at the Greater Regional Hospital in Creston, following an accident Friday morning near the Creston High School. Authorities say the accident happened at the intersection of Sycamore Street and Townline Avenue, at around 6:50-a.m. An investigation revealed 25-year-old Breanna Glenn, of Creston, was driving a 2008 Chevy Malibu, and turning left into the High School Parking lot to bring her husband an item, when the car was rear-ended by a 2020 Ford F-150 pickup, that was driven by 64-year-old Kimberly Higgins, of Corning.

Higgins told Creston Police that she didn’t see any brake lights or turn signal coming from the Chevy. There was fog in the area at the time. Glenn initially said she and a back seat toddler in her vehicle were uninjured, but later informed authorities they had gone to the hospital. There was no word on whether they had suffered any actual injuries, though.

Both vehicles sustained functional damage that police estimated at $4,000 altogether. No citations were issued.
