A car that crashed into a Decatur church Thursday morning punched a hole in the building’s facade, but the incident resulted in no injuries.

The crash happened about 10 a.m. when a car plowed into the front of Mount Patmos Baptist Church at 2207 Candler Road, DeKalb County Fire and Rescue spokesman Capt. Jaeson Daniels confirmed in an email to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Footage from NewsChopper 2 showed a large hole in the left side of the building’s front entrance.

No one was injured in the crash, Daniels said.
