TIMOTHY WRIGHT, pastor of GRACE TABERNACLE, located in BROOKLYN, NY, who's ALSO a contemporary gospel music artist, whose been on the music scene, since the '80's, I THINK, was EXTREMELY UNFORTUNATELY involved in a head-on colision with a drunk driver, while driving in PENNSYLVANIA, although I'm not sure about THAT, EITHER, which resulted in the death of his wife, HE, HIMSELF, critically injured. COMPLETE DETAILS are found below.
The Associated Press: Gospel singer Wright hurt in Pa. car accident
LOGANTON, Pa. (AP) — Gospel singer Timothy Wright was critically injured in a crash in central Pennsylvania that killed his wife and a wrong-way driver who hit their vehicle, police said.
Wright, 61, was injured Friday night along with his 14-year-old grandson, D.J. Wright, and both were taken to Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, according to a hospital spokesman.
Betty Wright, 58, of Roosevelt, N.Y., died in the three-vehicle crash on Interstate 80 in Greene Township, state police said.
The driver of the wrong-way car, John Pick, 44, of Lewisburg, also died, police said.
Timothy Wright has released more than a dozen gospel recordings, and his latest album, "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus," came out last year. He is the pastor at Grace Tabernacle Christian Center in New York City.
The Wrights were returning from a Church of God in Christ conference in Detroit, said Leroy Johnson, a trustee at Grace Tabernacle.
The couple have five sons, and the family asked that no other information be released, Johnson said Saturday.
A passenger in the third vehicle is in fair condition, said Geisinger spokesman Thomas Schaeffer.
Since I LAST posted, which, QUITE OBVIOUSLY, is the INITIAL post, and in case if you HADN'T learned, by NOW, 14-year-old T.J., the grandson that was also hurt, died that Saturday evening, and according to what one of my friends (here at camp), it's reported that although REV. WRIGHT IS talking, under UNKNOWN WHATEVER AMOUNT of heavy seddation, it's apparent that he suffered head trama, and is NOT FULLY ALLERT, although such report may STILL be undetermined, at this time, as according to MY knowledge. I know of NO FURTHER DETAILS, such as any FUNERAL PLANS, or whatever, EITHER.
