A Palmerston North congregation was shocked when their Sunday sermon was interrupted by a car crashing into the petrol station next door, which burst into flames. Emergency services were called to the corner of Tremaine Ave and Roy St, after a light grey sedan crashed into a fuel pump at Waitomo Fuel at 10.47am. Two fire crews were at the scene, but the fire was out on arrival. The Palmerston North Presbyterian New Church was celebrating its second anniversary, with a special Sunday service at Lynchway Funeral Directors’ chapel on Roy St when the car crashed.
