Richard Miller, who was a passenger in the car, was killed and Pastor Edwards was hospitalized in critical but stable condition. According to the church, he suffered fractures to his clavicle, sternum, and a vertebra in his back and doctors were keeping close watch on a small brain bleed. "Thank you to all for the outpouring of prayer, support, and love for the Miller family and Pastor Edwards. Pastor continues to be in stable condition. The reports have been encouraging but he is still in need of all your prayers," the church posted April 18.
