The ambulance crashed into the side of Hopewell M.B. Church near the intersection of Oakley Boulevard and Harrison Street around 7:40 a.m.
A congregation on the West Side is counting their blessings, after a Chicago Fire Department ambulance came careening through the side of their church this morning.
One witness said a car was travelling through the intersection with a green light when the ambulance came through with its lights and siren activated, those two colliding before the ambulance hit a third vehicle and looped back 180 degrees into the side of the church."It's scattered bricks all over the place, unfortunately; drywall all over the place," he said.
"But the good thing about it is it happened at a time when no one was there. We have our summer youth program; and we thank God that none of our youth were in the building, or were in the parking lot playing basketball, or anything like that," Phillips said. Phillips said they can still hold service this Sunday, and they'll save every brick; rebuilding on the site that means to this church family.
