PHOENIX - A garbage truck crashed into a sport utility vehicle and knocked down an air conditioning unit near 35th Avenue and Sweetwater Monday morning.
The crash happened on the Northminster Presbyterian Church's property and Arizona Public Service had to shut off power in the area.
Authorities say the SUV's driver ran a red light, which caused the truck to crash into it, then into a retaining wall, hitting the AC unit and destroying the power boxes.
The truck's drivers needed to be extricated and was transported to an area hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
After the crash, the SUV ended up slamming into a bus stop.
Pastor Wayne Kirk had hoped to have a quiet morning at the church to write his Ash Wednesday sermon. Once he arrived at the scene, he realized that wasn't going to happen.
