So Sad
NASHVILLE, Tennessee (AP) -- The 5-year-old daughter of Grammy-winning Christian music star Steven Curtis Chapman was struck and killed Wednesday by a sport utility vehicle driven by her brother, authorities said.The girl, Maria Sue, was hit in the driveway of the family's home Wednesday afternoon by a Toyota Land Cruiser driven by her teenage brother, said Laura McPherson, a spokeswoman for the Tennessee Highway Patrol.
The brother, whose name and exact age weren't available, apparently did not see the girl, McPherson said. No charges are expected.
"It looks like a tragic accident," she said.
Several family members witnessed the accident, which happened in Williamson County just south of Nashville. The girl died later at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, hospital spokeswoman Laurie Holloway said.
I've been a huge fan of SCC for years. I'll admit I'm more partial to his earlier stuff, but his voice and enthusiasm are contagious! I saw him live in Baton Rouge years ago and his voice is even fabulous live! Our thoughts go out to Steven Curtis Chapman and his family and especially his son, who has a very long road ahead of him as he deals with the tradgedy.
