The 5-year-old daughter of Christian music singer Steven Curtis Chapman was killed in a tragic accident at the Chapman family home near Nashville.

According to police reports, Maria Sue was playing in the driveway of the family’s home on Wednesday, when she was hit by a Toyota Land Cruiser driven by her older brother.

Laura McPherson, a spokeswoman for the Tennessee Highway Patrol, said the teenage boy apparently did not see the girl, and no charges are expected.

"It looks like a tragic accident," she said, as quoted by the Associated Press.

Several members of the family witnessed the accident. They said the girl was rushed to Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, where she later died.

Maria was one of the three girls of Chinese origin that Chapman and his wife had adopted. The couple promoted international adoption, but also have three biological children. The two founded “Shaohannah's Hope,” which is a foundation and ministry to financially assist thousands of couples in adoption. Shaohannah is the name of their first adopted Chinese daughter.

According to the family’s website, the couple did missionary work at Chinese orphanages in 2006 and 2007.

Chapman is a five-time Grammy winner and has sold over 10 million albums.
