CHARLOTTE — Two people were seriously hurt following a crash into a north Charlotte church Friday morning, according to MEDIC.

Channel 9 observed what seemed to be a pickup truck that had crashed into Bible Presbyterian Church.
Head Pastor Randy Ardis told us that the part of the building the vehicle crashed into was the nursery.
He said he was thankful that it wasn’t worse.
“I’m glad it happened at 4:30 in the morning, then 10:30 on a Sunday morning. That would have been horrible. We could have had someone killed. We could have had children killed,” Ardis elaborated.
Ardis also said this is an issue that has persisted for a while, as this is the second time a car has crashed into the church.
Which he said is due to the fact that that section of North Graham Stree doesn’t have a guardrail.
“Something needs to be done. Why not have a guardrail? Or something. Because this is going to keep happening,” Ardis explained.
Channel 9 has reached out to police about what led up to this crash.
This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
