(Creston, Iowa) – Two teens were hurt when the 2004 Kia Sorento they were in, went out of control and rolled-over Wednesday, in Union County. According to the Union County Sheriff’s Office, the car, driven by 17-year-old Jerry Degonia, of Diagonal, went out of control at around 2:45-p.m. in the 2200 block of Clover Avenue (near 220th St). The car entered the east ditch before entering the west ditch, where it rolled over and came to rest in the east ditch. Degonia was ejected from the vehicle and transported by Medics to the Greater Regional Medical Center (GRMC) in Creston. A passenger in the car, 15-year-old Addison Brumfield, of Creston, was also injured in the crash. She was taken to the hospital by a parent. The car sustained $15,000 damage. No citations were issued.

And, Creston Police said no injuries were reported following an accident Tuesday afternoon at the intersection of Adams and Elm Streets.
