Contemporary Christian music artist Steven Curtis Chapman lost his five year old daughter in a tragic accident on Wednesday (May 21st). Maria Sue Chapman was playing in her Franklin, Tennessee, driveway when her teenage brother inadvertantly struck her with the Toyota Land Cruiser he was driving. She was LifeFlighted to Vanderbilt Children's Hospital. Tennessee Highway Patrol spokeswoman Laura McPherson said several members of the Chapman family witnessed the accident.

Just hours before this close knit family was celebrating the engagement of the oldest daughter Emily Chapman, and were just hours away from a graduation party marking Caleb Chapman's completion of high school.

The child was the youngest in the family and one of three daughters adopted by Chapman and wife Mary Beth. The entire family was home at the time of the accident. Steven Curtis Chapman, 45, has won 51 Dove awards from the Gospel Music Association and five Grammys. Please keep this family in your prayers.
