He drove like a bat out of hell — straight through the front doors of a Long Island church, cops said Sunday.
A speed-demon driver lost control of his dark-blue Infiniti G35 in front of the Second Baptist Church in Baldwin in Nassau County at around 4:30 a.m. and went airborne through double glass doors and part of a concrete wall, authorities said.
But while the crumpled car (above) remained lodged in the wall after the crash, the driver and his two passengers, remarkably, were able to pry themselves free of the wreck and flee, police said.
Authorities had to hire a construction crane to dislodge the car, which was stripped down to its steel frame in places from the impact.
The building was not open at the time of the crash.
Cops said they have identified the driver but have yet to find him.
Shocked congregants were heartbroken over the damage.
“It’s just too upsetting,” said a parishioner.
