Christian Star’s Daughter Killed in Car Accident
Grammy Award-winning Christian singer Steven Curtis Chapman’s 5-year-old daughter was killed Wednesday after being accidently hit by a SUV driven by her brother. Maria Sue was playing in the driveway of her family home near Nashville when she was struck. "It looks like a tragic accident," a spokesperson for the Tennessee Highway Patrol told the Associated Press. The accident was witnessed by several family members. Maria Sue (seen in the video above) was rushed to the hospital, where she later died. Maria Sue, adopted from China, was Chapman’s youngest daughter. The singer and his wife have three adopted children and three biological children. "After our first trip to China, my wife and I knew our lives were changing – our eyes and hearts were opening to how big God really is, and we have wanted to experience more of that," Chapman once wrote. Funeral services for Maria Sue are scheduled for Friday and Saturday at the Christ Presbyterian Church in Nashville.
