(Creston, Iowa) – Before you get out of a vehicle with the engine running, you might want to make sure the vehicle is in “Park.” Creston Police report a local man was driving a 1995 Dodge Dakota pickup in his yard, while picking up sticks. When 83-year-old Lawrence Lewis Dorgan, of Creston, exited the vehicle at around 6-p.m., Wednesday, he forgot to put it into park. The pickup rolled backwards out of the yard, across the street, and into a fire hydrant. Authorities say there was no damage to the hydrant, but Dorgan’s pickup sustained $1,500 damage. The man wasn’t injured, and no citations were issued.
