2 killed in crash with Christian band's tour bus
FORT WAYNE, Ind. — The Christian rock band MercyMe canceled its Saturday show in St. Louis after its tour bus hit a car in northeastern Indiana, killing two passengers in the car and the pregnant car driver's unborn baby.
A photo of the damaged bus and the cancellation was posted on the band's Web site. Six Flags St. Louis issued a statement saying the show was rescheduled because the band was "involved in a vehicle accident in Indiana."
Fort Wayne police Officer Liza Thomas says witnesses told police the bus was going through a green light about 1:15 a.m. Saturday when the car made a left turn in front of it. Thomas says there were no injuries reported on the bus.
She says two passengers in the car died and the driver was in critical condition after losing her baby.

A collision between Christian band MercyMe's tour bus and a car has killed two passengers in the car and the 18-year-old driver's unborn baby. The woman is in critical condition following the crash, which occurred in Fort Wayne, northeastern Indiana.

The bus was headed to Six Flags St. Louis in Missouri for the band to play to a sold-out crowd. At 1:15 a.m. Saturday, according to witnesses, the bus was going through a green light when the car made a turn in front of it.

No-one on the bus was injured, and the band rescheduled the show for September as a result of the incident. A photograph of the damaged bus was posted on the band's website, depicting moderate crumpling to the front area of the vehicle.
