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.
