Two Dead in Fatal Mercy MeAuto Accident.
In the wee hours of the morning I received the following tweet from Bart Millard via my Twitter account:
Car just hit our tour bus. We are ok, but 2 of the 3 in the car did not make it. The one that did is pregnant. Please start praying.
Soon Twitter was a flurry of re-tweets as people sent out the news asking for prayer for MercyMe and the other victims of the fatal car crash. A few hours later Bart Millard posted:
Can't sleep. Officers left to notify families of their loss. My heart aches. Girl driving is 35 wks pregnant. Both are stable.MercyMe is perhaps best known for their hit song "I Can Only Imagaine." The gospel group's sold-out concert at Six Flags tonight is canceled.
According to a report on ChristianActivities.com, gospel music's MercyMe was involved in the fatal crash when a black car turned into the path of their tour bus in Fort Wayne, IN. No one on MercyMe's bus was injured, but two passengers in the car were killed and the pregnant driver of the car is in critical condition. Police say MercyMe's tour bus was traveling through a green light when the car turned abruptly straight into the path of the tour bus.
