HUNTSVILLE, AL (WAFF) -

A vehicle slammed into a church sending one person to the hospital.

It happened just before 7:30 Monday night at the intersection of Mastin Lake Road and Maggie Avenue in Huntsville.

Police said the driver suffered a seizure, lost control of his truck, ran off the road and ended up in True Holiness Church.

A neighbor heard the crash and ran out to help.

"I just held his chest and I could feel him trying to breathe, so I just softly went with the motions of breathing with him and he started to breathe then and relax. I told him he was in church," said Brian Bentley.

The driver was taken to the hospital in stable condition. He's expected to be ok.
