Seven injured as car ploughs into church leaving baby’s buggy pinned to wall
Seven people, including a baby, have been injured after a car veered off the road and crashed into a church.
Shocking photos from Regent Street, Leeds, show the silver Peugeot smashed up against the building, with a baby’s buggy pinned against the wall.
A passenger in the car, 26, has been taken to hospital in a serious condition, police said.
The other driver and passengers, including two adults and a baby, are believed to have suffered minor injuries.
Two children who had been standing nearby on the pavement also suffered minor injuries.
Police say a blue Audi was also involved in the collision, which took place at 11.58am this morning.
The male driver of that car, 27, has been arrested on suspicion of driving whilst over the prescribed limit.
A spokesperson for West Yorkshire Police said the road is still closed while officers investigate.
They continued: ‘Officers are appealing to the public for witnesses to the collision itself or if anyone saw the vehicles prior to the collision.’
