A man was arrested on suspicion of drug driving after a car ploughed into a 12th century church in Farnworth, Widnes. CCTV footage shows a silver car smashing through the front wall, breaking a stone Saxon cross. The suspect was seen running away from the scene while music continued to play inside the damaged car. The oldest building in Widnes, the church suffered extensive damage with a collapsed wall and a broken cross.
CCTV footage seen by the ECHO shows a silver car going straight through the front wall of St Luke's Parish Church in Farnworth, Widnes, on Friday evening. The car, which was travelling at speed, smashed into the wall and broke a stone Saxon cross, which is said to date back to the 9th century.
Hannah West, who works at The Ring O'Bells pub across the road from the church, told the ECHO: “It was loads of drama. The whole of the pub was stood there watching it. "Eyewitnesses said he must have been doing at least 70 coming up Farnworth Street, there’s a chicane in the road. People said he hit the top of the top speed bump, went out of control and went straight into the wall."He said: "We've spent today clearing. They are massive stones. The car was a complete write-off, it's virtually demolished. It was towed away and we were just left with the mess.
