(Creston, Iowa) – Officials with the Creston Police Department say no injuries were reported after an SUV struck a semi tractor-trailer, Friday afternoon. The accident happened just before 3-p.m. as a 2019 Chevy Trax driven by 92-year-old Lorin Eilers, of Creston, was exiting the Tractor Supply store parking lot, in Creston. As the vehicle was turning onto Highway 34, Eilers looked, but failed to see a 2019 Kenworth semi pulling a trailer that was traveling west on Highway 34.

The front end of the small SUV struck the semi’s rear trailer tires, causing minor damage to the SUV ($2,500). No damage was sustained by the semi, which was driven by 32-year-old Jose Duran, of Clarion (IA).

Authorities say once he was released from the accident scene, Eilers drove eastbound in the westbound lanes before he was stopped by police officers. Eilers denied being in the wrong lane. No citations were issued.
