Grammy-winning Christian singer Steven Curtis Chapman suffered an unthinkable tragedy Wednesday when his 5-year-old daughter was killed in an accident involving her brother. Chapman's youngest daughter, Maria Sue, was hit in the driveway of her family's Franklin, Tenn., home by an Suv driven by her teenage brother, the Associated Press reports. The brother, whose name was not released, apparently did not see the girl. Several family members witnessed the accident, according to the Ap. Maria Sue later died at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, hospital spokeswoman Laurie Holloway said. "It looks like a tragic accident," said Laura McPherson, a spokeswoman for the Tennessee Highway Patrol.
