A medical condition caused Stephanie Kay Allen to lose control of her pickup and crash it into the Meylor Chiropractic building Friday afternoon, police said.

The 39-year-old woman, of Silver Lake, Minn., who was wearing her seat belt, suffered non-life threatening injuries during the 12:45 p.m. accident. She was taken via ambulance to Floyd Valley Hospital.

Meylor Chiropractic was closed at the time of the accident. No one was inside.

Allen was eastbound on Highway 3 approaching its intersection with Business 75 when she lost control of her truck, which then entered the parking area of The Le Mars Country Store, and continued eastbound, striking the west side of Meylor Chiropractic, said Le Mars Police Officer Kevin Vande Vegte.

The accident caused an estimated $10,000 damage to Meylor Chiropractic building, 400 Plymouth St. N.W., and $5,000 damage to Allen's 2002 Dodge Dakota truck, Vande Vegte said.

A witness at the scene, Raymond Berning, of Sioux Center, was northbound on Business 75 and was stopped at the light at the Highway 3 intersection when the accident occurred.

"She was probably going 50 mph," Berning said.

He said the driver looked like she was "having a seizure or something" when she drove past him.

"She had both hands up and she was kind of shaking," he said.

There were no other passengers in the pickup, according to the police report.

The Le Mars Fire Department extracted the pickup from the building.

Plymouth County Sheriff's deputies also assisted at the scene of the accident.
