FINNEY COUNTY —A Garden City woman was arrested after the SUV she was driving struck a church building in Garden City.
Around 1:25 a.m. Saturday, police were dispatched to the 300 block of E. Campbell Street in Garden City for a reported injury accident, according to a media release.
First responders found a GMC Suburban had struck the north wall of Garden Valley Church. The investigation revealed that the driver, identified as Chelby Wilson, 45, had been traveling northbound on 3rd Street when she nearly struck a parked vehicle.
In attempting to avoid a collision, Wilson overcorrected, the SUV jumped a curb, and struck both a stop sign and a fire hydrant before the vehicle came to rest against the church building.
Further investigation determined Wilson was allegedly driving under the influence, and she was arrested and booked into the Finney County Jail on a requested charge of driving under the influence. No injuries were reported from the incident.
