Daughter of Gospel Star Steven Curtis Chapman Hit, Killed by Car

NASHVILLE, Tenn. —  The 5-year-old daughter of contemporary Christian music star Steven Curtis Chapman was struck and killed Wednesday by a sport utility vehicle driven by her brother, authorities said.

The girl, Maria, was hit in a driveway on the family residence Wednesday afternoon by a Toyota Land Cruiser driven by her teenage brother, said Laura McPherson, a spokesman for the Tennessee Highway Patrol.

McPherson said no charges are expected.

"It looks like a tragic accident," she said.

She said several members of the Chapman family witnessed the accident, which happened in Williamson County just south of Nashville.

This is not far from my house.  I can't even imagine that kind of pain.  Prayers for the family.

How horrible for the family!

Chapman has always been one of my favorite singers, and his advocating for adoption is very inspiring.

What an awful story.  I can't even imagine the guilt the driver of the vehicle is feeling right now.  Prayers for the whole family.

The love and support being poured out upon the Chapmans is amazing.  Their memorial website for little Maria has tens of thousands of comments:
