Driver Injured as Truck Smashes Church

June 6, 2012 | Filed under: Car Accident

A man is recovering in the hospital after crashing his pickup truck into a century old church Tuesday morning in Huntington Beach.

The accident was reported at 10:20 a.m. at the Warner Avenue Baptist Church on Warner Avenue, where a passing truck spun out of control and smashed into the front entrance.

The truck crashed through a post and came to rest in the entry way of the building. Responding firefighters were forced to erect a temporary post to keep the front part of the building from coming down as they got the vehicle and the man behind the wheel out of there. There was a worry that the structural post that was knocked out in the crash would topple the steeple.

Crews had to work their way to the vehicle and pull the driver out of the vehicle, as he was engulfed in the debris from the old building.

The driver was then immediately taken to a nearby hospital for treatment of what is being reported as significant injuries. There is no word on the identity of the person at this time.

No one was injured inside the church in the accident, and there were no other vehicles involved in the initial spin out that sent the truck into the entry way.

Investigators are unsure what caused the vehicle to lose control initially, and are looking over the scene to uncover any clues that may help piece the crash back together.

The pastoral of the church reported that he was in his office studying when he heard a loud crash, though he heard no tires screeching or any other sounds that typically come with a car crash.

Warner Baptist Church is no stranger to vehicular accidents. This is the third time in the last 26 years that a car has smashed through the front of the building. Some believe that the church is positioned far too close to the intersection, leaving little room for error for wayward cars.
