A Lawrence driver was arrested for operating under the influence Thursday night, after his vehicle jumped a curb, knocked down a parking meter, started to climb a tree, hit a natural gas line and flipped on its side, Lawrence police said. The incident happened at about 10 p.m. near 10th and Vermont streets.

The car broke a gas line that feeds Plymouth Congregational Church, 925 Vt. Officials said the gas line was turned off shortly after the incident. The car didn’t hit the church, but landed about a foot away from it, Lawrence Police Capt. Ray Urbanek said.

There were two occupants in the car. The male driver suffered minor injuries and was transported to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, but was later released, police said. His female passenger wasn’t injured.
