A Grammy-nominated gospel singer is recovering in New Jersey from a car crash that killed his
wife and grandson.
The Rev. Timothy Wright is undergoing rehabilitation at the Kessler
Institute in West Orange. He had been
hospitalized in Pennsylvania
after the July 4 accident.
The 61-year-old Wright's car was hit head-on by a motorist driving
the wrong way on Interstate 80 near Danville,
Pennsylvania. The other driver was killed.
Doctors are scheduled to discuss Wright's condition at a
news conference Tuesday.
Wright founded the Grace
Tabernacle Christian
Center in Brooklyn's Crown Heights
neighborhood. He has released more than a dozen gospel recordings and was
nominated for a Grammy award in 1994.
