daughter of christian singer killed by car

This is really tragic. The daughter of popular Christian singer Steven Curtis Chapman died Wednesday evening after being struck by a car driven by her teenage brother in the driveway of the family's home in Tennessee: Steven Curtis Chapman's daughter killed by car in driveway. 5-year-old Maria was the youngest of three children from China adopted into the Chapman family.

It just appears to be a really terrible accident. Maria was hit by an SUV driven by her teenage brother, who didn't see her playing in the driveway outside their home. The accident was witnessed by two other children; the entire family was home at the time. No charges are expected. More here: Daughter of Christian Music Star Killed by Car.
