Search on for driver who rammed into Seattle Ethiopian Orthodox Church

(Oct 25, 2011, SEATTLE, Komo News)--The search is on for the driver who crashed into a church, then fled the scene. The crash, which occurred just before 2 a.m., destroyed the stage inside Ethiopian Orthodox Christian Church, and left a large gaping hole on the side of the building.

Firefighters said the driver abandoned his car and ran from the scene in the 2100 block of 14th Ave. S. before police arrived.

No one was injured, but the crash displaced several church elders who live above the church. The Red Cross is assisting the displaced residents while investigators determine whether the building sustained any structural damage. A description of the sought driver was not available.
