Crash: 2006 Lexus crashes into church at Easter concert; 18 injured--driver says brakes failed


The driver of a 2006 Lexus says she was parking her car in the church lot, pullilng into a space, when the car brakes failed and the vehicle smashed through the church wall and into the sanctuary, where an Easter concert was underway. Heavy wooden pews and, congregants say, the grace of God, saved them from death. At least 18 were injured.
Police have not blamed the driver, at least, not yet.

Reporter: she said she "tried as hard as she could to pound on the brakes, but they just did not work."
