(Creston, Iowa) – An accident this (Tuesday) afternoon in Union County caused a total of $20,000 damage to the vehicles involved, but no one was injured. The Union County Sheriff’s Office says a 2013 Subaru Crosstrek SUV driven by 19-year-old Abigail Tallmon, of Afton, was traveling north on Lark Avenue at around 2:20-p.m., when Tallman slowed down to yield for a road grader traveling slowly on the roadway.

A 2015 Chevy Equinox SUV driven by 19-year-old Kristi Travis, of Creston, was topping a hill as she was northbound on Lark Avenue Due to the dust kicked-up by the grader, Travis was unable to see the Subaru in front of her. She was unable to slow down in-time to avoid hitting the SUV from behind.

Both vehicles were disabled in the collision. No citations were issued.
