The pastor of a western Pennsylvania church says a retired priest is in a state of shock and in need of prayers after police and witnesses said he drove into a group of churchgoers after a Good Friday service, killing an 89-year-old woman and injuring four other people.
Police and witnesses said the priest had just finished assisting with an afternoon service and was driving around to the entrance of the Roman Catholic church when his car sped into a small group standing under a shelter.
Parishioner Angela Thomas, who helped tend to the injured, said the priest told her the car accelerated by itself.
