Pennsylvania State Police said the Grace Tabernacle Christian Center founder and his wife were driving in Greene Township, Pa., Friday when their vehicle was hit head-on by an oncoming car, The New York Times (NYSE:NYT) reported Sunday.

Wright received critical injuries, as did his 14-year-old grandson, D. J., and his wife Betty was killed.

Police said the man driving the other car also was killed. He was identified as 44-year-old Pennsylvania resident John Pick.

The pastor and his family had been traveling home to New York from a Detroit conference when the accident occurred, the Times said.

Among Wright's many vocal accomplishments were the songs "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus," "Troubles Don't Last Always" and "Who's on the Lord's Side?"
