The first blog states:

Currently, Rev. Timothy Wright is heavily sedated, has several broken bones BUT IS NOW doing better and is currently in critical care. The grandson, 14 year old Daniel, is NOT brain dead, but was on life support and is also doing better."

So hopefully they will make a full recovery.

From 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.

My heart and prayers go out to this family and the church family.


What a fellowship, what a joy divine, leaning on the everlasting arms; what a blessedness, what a peace is mine, leaning on the everlasting arms. ...


That is where she is ..but oh it must hurt. I am not familiar with them but it hurts just reading about it. Keeping it in prayer and in the infinite wisdom of God that is far beyond human understanding

From what I read this morning it was just his wife who was killed.

[Opalsunset]

This is so terrible! Im so sorry to hear his wife, and grandson passed away in this accident, and I am also sorry to hear of the driver in the other car as well.I just am sorry to hear this news. I know they are in need of prayers right now more than ever.

[Cincysweetie]

How terrible. I am not sure who he is, but that's just awful to happen to any family. I will keep their family in my prayers.

No. The wife died instantly. The grandson was improving, but then died early Sunday morning. Please check the official site of his home church for updates.
A lot of misinformation is going around. :nono:

Prayers also to the family of the driver who died. I know they say he may have been drunk, but his family is also grieving. :(
