The Creston Police Department is investigating an accident in which one party possibly provided false information.  The accident was reported on Thursday, April 21st at 12:45pm at the Creston Fareway parking lot.  A blue truck was backing up out of a parking space and struck the rear drivers side of a 2001 Buick LeSabre that was traveling northbound in the parking lot.  The owner of the Buick exchanged information at the scene but officers later had reason to believe the driver of the truck provided false information.  The truck driver claimed to be Ray Brunner of Orient and said he had an insurance policy with State Farm.  Officers were unable to locate an individual by that name and State Farm had no record of a policy under that name.  The phone number given was no longer in service.  Damage to the Buick was estimated at $1,400.  The incident is still under investigation.
