A hit-and-run incident in Creston, early Monday morning (Feb. 28) caused $700 damage to a parked 2019 Toyota Tundra Crewmax pickup truck and $2,000 damage to a garage. According to Creston Police, the owner said she heard a bang at around 4-a.m., but thought the wind knocked over her trash can.

An investigation determined an apparently red vehicle was traveling south on N. Birch Street in Creston, and pulled into the driveway at a high-rate of speed. The unknown vehicle hit the curb in the driveway before colliding with the rear end of the pickup. The force of the impact caused the pickup to be pushed into the garage.

The unknown vehicle then backed out of the drive, leaving car parts through the yard. The vehicle “Peeled out,” continuing southbound on Birch.
