A driver slammed a stolen SUV into a North Philadelphia church early Thursday morning, sending three people -- including a teenager -- to the hospital and destroying a brick wall, police said.
The vehicle crashed into a wall on the Somerset Street side of the Deliverance Evangelistic Church, which is located at 20th Street and Lehigh Avenue, around 4:15 a.m., authorities said.
At least two of the three people injured were badly hurt, officials said, however no conditions were provided at this time.
An investigation is underway.
The Deliverance Evangelistic Church dedicated its North Philly building, which holds more than 5,000 people, in August 1992, according to the church's website.
The church is led by Pastor Glen Spaulding.
