Friday night a man was driving a Lincoln northbound on Hwy. 87 N when he attempted to turn left onto Clark Lane.
Traveling southbound was William Van Pelt and two passengers in a Ford pickup.
The two collided with the truck ending up in the ditch of the Drake Presbyterian Church.
The three occupants of the truck were taken to the hospital to be checked out. Justin Askari, 34, refused treatment and was cited turning when unsafe.
