A woman who says her leg fell asleep while she was driving to the Greater Regional Community Hospital in Creston, crashed her car into two other vehicles in the parking lot late this (Thursday) morning. 75-year old Paula Jean Bowman, of Lenox, was driving a 2006 Lincoln Towncar eastbound through the hospital parking lot at around 10:30-a.m., when the car went out of control and drove over the median before rear-ending a parked 2002 Ford registered to a man from Afton. The impact forced the Ford into a parked 2014 Chevy Impala registered to a woman from Slayton, MN. A witness told police Bowman’s car ramped the median and went very fast across the parking lot before hitting the Ford. It then backed up over the curb and into the bushes before pulling away to park. No injuries were reported. Damage from the accident amounted to $2,500.
