(Creston, Iowa) – Two people suffered minor injuries during an accident early this (Tuesday) afternoon, in Creston. According to the Creston Police Department, the accident happened at the intersection of Montgomery and Sumner Streets, at around 12:05-p.m.

Authorities say a Chevy Blazer driven by 86-year-old Carolyn Biere, of Creston, was traveling east on Montgomery Street and had stopped at the posted intersection, waiting for traffic. A crew was working on Sumner Street, which police say may have been a contributing factor in the accident, as they presented drivers with an obstruction.

Police say Biere thought she was clear to enter the intersection, but due to the crew’s location, did not see a Chevy passenger car driven by 19-year-old Willow Snow, of Creston, traveling north on Sumner. The SUV struck the car, causing both vehicles to become disabled.

Both drivers were cleared by medics at the scene. Damage to their vehicles amounted to $4,000 altogether. No citations were issued.
