Minor injuries reported in accident.
A woman driving to drop off a donation at the Tipping Point Theatre crashed her car into the theater, 361 East Cady St., today around 12:45 p.m. Tipping Point director James Kuhl said the woman was going to leave some of her husband's belongings, including a hat, for the theatre to use as props. But as she drove down the hill into the parking lot, she stepped on the gas instead of the brake, said Northville City Police Captain Michael Carlson.
