Runaway car slams into rural Kentucky Baptist church in Sunday service

CYNTHIANA, Ky. (KT) – The handful of members who gathered for worship Sunday night in Silas Baptist Church were thanking God that everybody was able to walk away after an accident nobody could have seen coming.

An out-of-control car came flying airborne off a hill and slammed into the church at a high rate of speed, busting through brick and shattering a 200-year-old stained glass window and disintegrating pews before resting halfway in the church.

Although there were several minor injuries to three of those inside and a passenger in the car, it was a miracle that no one was hurt worse or even killed, said Silas Baptist Church Pastor Curtis Coots.

“It took one door completely off the hinges,” he said. “It was pretty scary. To get to that door he had to come about 600 feet. You never expect something like that.”
