LOGANTON, Pa. - Gospel singer the Rev. Timothy Wright was critically injured in a crash that killed his wife and a wrong-way driver, police in central Pennsylvania said Saturday.

State police said 58-year-old Betty Wright of Roosevelt, N.Y., died in the three-vehicle crash on Interstate 80. The driver of the car that was going the wrong way also died.

Timothy Wright's latest album, "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus," came out last year.
