Accident: Truck and car collide on Taylor

No citations were issued Tuesday morning in a two-vehicle accident in Creston.

According to a Creston Police report, at approximately 10:57 a.m. a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado, driven by Jarryn R. Stephens, 22, of Lorimor, was eastbound on Highway 34 (Taylor Street) in the inside lane.

A Union County Sheriff’s deputy responding to a medical emergency with lights and sirens activated came up behind the Silverado and Stephens attempted to merge over to yield the right-of-way to the deputy. He did not see a 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, driven by Lola Blitz, 19, of Dallas Center, also eastbound but in the outside lane, and struck the Malibu’s front quarter panel and bumper.

Damage to the Malibu was estimated at $3,500 and damage to the Silverado was estimated at $2,000.
