Last weekend, a car collided with a local church in Nassau and crashed through one of the walls. The building which was owned by the Salvation Army, is currently considered unusable pending an engineer’s evaluation, explains a reporter. The building was used for many different purposes in the community including a church, outreach and childcare.
The incident took place around midnight when the building was entirely empty; the church building very rarely holds events which take place at that time of night. The Salvation Army has had operations at the location for over fifty years and has no plans to relocate following the incident.
The driver of the silver sedan and the one passenger were spotted leaving the scene of the incident. The fact that they fled makes it likely that both people could face hit and run charges. The two people could not have been sure that no one was in the building at the time of the crash. Police immediately informed the director of the facility about the accident and requested that they come to the scene.
