A driverless vehicle crashed into a Creston car wash Friday morning, before hitting a parked vehicle. Creston Police say 47-year old Paula Jackson, of Creston, was traveling south and going through a car wash at the BP Station located at 500 West Adams Street at around 7:30-a.m., Friday, when she exited her Jeep SUV because she had dropped money being put into the payment machine.

Jackson forgot to put her Grand Cherokee in park when she was leaning out of the vehicle. The SUV continued forward without the driver and hit the car wash, before hitting a parked 2001 Chevy pickup located in a parking space south of an alleyway.

Jackson complained of foot pain, but refused medical transport. Damage from the crash amounted to $7,500.
