First Baptist Church Rogersville, Missouri, sustained damage on Jan. 25, when a car accelerated into the front of their worship center.
According to Springfield television station KY3, a car with two occupants was parked in the church driveway near the entryway. While parked, the driver experienced a medical condition and accidentally stepped on the gas, propelling the car into the brick and stone exterior wall beside the front entrance to the church. The car stopped just inside the building and the walls to the church foyer restrooms were pushed inward. Church officials said the men’s restroom was pretty much destroyed, and the women’s restroom sustained some damage.
Both of the occupants were transported to a local hospital, where they were treated and released. The last word church officials had received was that the driver and passenger only sustained minor injuries. No other injuries were reported. The Rogersville Police Department is investigating the accident.
