(Red Oak, Iowa) – A collision Wednesday afternoon in Montgomery County caused a police-estimated total of $10,500 damage, but no one was injured. According to the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, vehicles driven by 48-year-old’s Joshua Weston, of Red Oak, and Robert McMann, of Henderson, collided at around 1:20-p.m. at K Avenue and 160th Street.

Authorities say the accident happened when McMann failed to yield the right-of-way from the stop sign, as his pickup truck was traveling east on 160th.  His vehicle struck Weston’s pickup on the driver’s side.

Sheriff’s officials noted the intersection is at the crest of a hill, and tall weeds caused obscured vision. In addition, there was also a lack of road dust due to recent precipitation. Dust would have indicated to either driver that another vehicle was approaching, according to the report.  There were no citations issued.
