POSEY CO., Ind. — A Marion, Ill. man is dead and five others are left injured following a crash yesterday evening (Tuesday, June 24, 2014). They were all members of Livingstone Community Church in Marion, who were on a mission trip to aid a homeless shelter in Evansville, Ind.
Livingstone Community Church Pastor Bryce Parks reported to media that the Mission Group was returning home from a stop at Holiday World, when one of their church vans blew a tire, which caused it to spin and collide with a semi truck.
Christopher Williams, 29, who was a Youth Minister at Livingstone Community Church, later passed away as a result of his injuries sustained in the accident. Reports indicate that one person is in critical condition, and three others were injured but are stable.
The Posey County Indiana Sheriff’s Office is investigating the crash.
