SALINA – A Kansas man suffered only minor injuries after an accident on Friday in Salina.

Police say a medical condition was responsible for the accident in which a truck crashed into a Salina church.

Captain Mike Sweeney said that a 2006 GMC Canyon driven by Jeremy Lawson, 35, Salina, was southbound in the 800 Block of South Ohio just before 1:15 p.m. when the medical emergency occurred.

Lawson lost control of his vehicle, veered left into the oncoming lane of traffic and struck a curb, a tree, a light post, and then struck the south side of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Sweeney said that Lawson suffered only minor injuries in the accident, and was primarily being treated for his medical condition.

Damage to the church has been estimated at $2,000.
