WEST UNION, Iowa (KCRG) – A 19-year-old man has been cited after he reportedly caused a crash involving the West Union Police Department chief’s cruiser.
It happened just after 7:30 a.m. Monday morning on East Elm Street east of Walnut Street, according to the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office.
The sheriff’s office said a vehicle pulled out from an alley in front of a West Union Police car, driven by Chief Paul Becthold. The chief could not stop in time and crashed into the other vehicle.
Deputies said the driver could not see when he pulled out because the windows were frosted. He was cited for failing to yield.
