A Dangerous Coincidence

BRADY TOWNSHIP, CLEARFIELD COUNTY - Salem United Methodist Church decided to build theirnew church further away fromRoute 219than where it sat for over 80 years out of a fear it would be destroyed again.

April 25, 2011 the church came off of its foundation when a log truck skidded of the road and logs slammed into the structure.

After a year of planning, the Church hired Hallstrom Construction to demolish their current church and build new.

They, along with Hallstrom, decided to build further off of the road and Tuesday afternoon they realized what a good decision that was.

"The first thing they said to me was it happened again. A car had veered off of the road and into a utility pole. It is a good thing the church is not where the old one was because the car would have landed in the fifth or sixth pew of the old church" said Chris Satterlee of Hallstrom Construction.

No one, including the 18 year old driver, was hurt in the accident, but it definitely made the workers decide never to park their cars in harms way again.
