The Creston Police Department released details on a crash involving a woman running into a building in Creston Monday. The crash happened at 12:49pm Monday afternoon as witnesses observed a 2008 Chevy pickup driven by 77-year-old Donna Jean Burgess of Kellerton driving on the wrong side of the road heading north on Sumner Street. Burgess missed the turn to go to the dentist office and continued north until turning left and running into Ted Willet’s Accounting building.
