(Creston, Iowa) – Officials with the Creston Police Department say no injuries were reported following a collision that occurred at around 2-p.m. Tuesday, near the MATURA building at 212 N. Maple Street. Authorities say a car driven by 87-year-old Darlene Blazek, of Creston, was traveling southbound, and had pulled to the west side of the road in the marked parking area. Blazek thought she put her car into “park,” but it began backing up.

Police say Blazek failed to apply the brakes, and instead accelerated her vehicle in reverse before it struck a legally parked and unoccupied SUV. Authorities said in their report, she appeared to be very confused, and did not know how the accident happened.

Damage from the collision amounted to a police-estimated $3,500 altogether. No citations were issued.
