Car rolls into SUV

Nicholas Richards had parked his car in the 800 block of North Street Monday evening, when he told Iola police officers the vehicle’s parking brake apparently slipped, causing the car to roll down the street, striking a parked sport utility vehicle owned by Amie S. VanNice.

There were no injuries.
