NANAIMO — Emergency responders were hopping Thursday afternoon with both a possible drunk-driving crash and a car barreling into a church.
RCMP Cst. Gary O’Brien said the incidents happened just 20 minutes and a few blocks apart on Jan. 11.
O’Brien said at 3:10 p.m. on Townsite Rd. an eastbound car driven by a 63-year-old woman crashed into the exterior wall of First Unitarian Fellowship of Nanaimo.
“She went through the intersection and struck the side of the Unitarian hall, there is significant structural damage.”
