The Grammy award winning Rev Timothy Wright was critically injured. The accident occurred on highway 80 in Pennsylvania as Rev. Wright and his family members were heading home after attending a Church of God in Christ AIM conference in Detroit, Mi.

A vehicle driven by John Pick was heading westbound in the eastbound lane hit Rev. Wrights car head on causing a haze of smoke which blinded the driver of another vehicle behind Rev Wright’s car, causing that driver to hit the Wright vehicle from the rear. First lady Betty Wright (58) was killed instantly and 14 year old D.J. Wright died later at a hospital in Lamar Barrack Pa. The drive of the westbound vehicle was also killed.

Rev Wright is the winner of several Grammies and numerous other awards for his gospel singing. He and the First Lady had also collaborated on a few gospel songs. Rev Wright was the Pastor of Grace Tabernacle Christian Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., where his wife served as co-pastor. He is the father of five sons, Danny, David, Derrick, Dwayne and Donny.

Grace Tabernacle Christian Center held two Prayer services on Wednesday, July 9th, 2008 one at 11:45 am and another at 5:45 pm. It was a praise and worship service overshadowed by heavy hearts of many of Rev Wright’s parishioners, who were determined to praise God in the manner in which Rev Wright and his wife had often demonstrated.
