CCM star Steven Curtis Chapman’s daughter was killed yesterday when her brother accidentally hit her with his car. As if the tragedy of the accident alone isn’t tough enough, the way she was killed must make the situation nearly unbearable.
The 5-year-old was hit by an SUV driven by her teenage brother, she said. Police did not give the driver’s name.
The teen was driving a Toyota Land Cruiser down the driveway of the rural home at about 5:30 p.m. and several children were playing in the area, McPherson said. He did not see Maria in the driveway before the vehicle struck her, she said.
I don’t know how I’d live with myself. Join me in praying for the Chapman family.
With his latest music tour, which came through Nashville in November, Chapman started a campaign called “Change for Orphans”. He asked audience members at each stop to bring spare change to the concert, where it was counted and given to a local family to aid in their adoption process.
“I don’t know of anybody who loves his children more than he does and is so committed to the adoption concept, and to lose one, no matter what the circumstances, is heartbreaking beyond all comprehension,” said John Styll, president of the Nashville-based Gospel Music Association.

That’s terrible, I’d probably lose my mind (for awhile at least) if I lost one of my boys like that.
I can empathise, it must be horrible.
Steven and Family, our hearts and deepest sympathies to all of you for the loss of your beautiful daughter. We love you and are grateful for our LORD’s presence in your lives. God will sustain you thru this time, draw near to HIM and HE’ll hold you close. We’ll never be able to listen to “I dance Cinderalla” without tears in our hearts and eyes. We love your music and especially loved this song you dedicated to your daughter. Sophia & Nicky
