(Creston, Iowa) – The Creston Police Department says no injuries were reported following two separate accidents late Monday. At around 7:35-p.m., a pickup driven by 58-year-old Mark Saylor, of Creston, struck a deer that was crossing the road, as the vehicle was traveling west on Highway 34. Neither Saylor nor his passenger were hurt. The 2022 Chevy Colorado pickup sustained an estimated $5,000 (disabling) damage, and was towed from the scene.

The second accident happened at around 10:15-p.m., Monday, when a 2005 GMC pickup driven by 66-year-old Michael Fry, of Kent, went out of control on a curve along 255th Street. The vehicle left the road and rolled over, damaging a fence in the process. The pickup sustained an estimated $10,000 damage. When the accident scene was found by a passing motorist, no one was with the vehicle. Fry later called authorities to report he was driving the vehicle when the accident occurred.

No citations were issued in connection with either accident.
