LANCASTER, S.C. -- The pastor of a North Carolina church has been killed in a wreck in South Carolina that injured seven people.
Multiple media outlets reported that the Rev. Ronnie Wilson of Southpoint Free Will Baptist Church in Belmont, N.C., died in the wreck late Saturday afternoon on state Highway 903 east of Lancaster.
Services were canceled at the church Sunday, but members gathered with deacons at the church to pray.
Wilson had led the church since 1999 and helped build a new building in 2005.
Wilson was driving a van with four men heading back from an annual golf trip to Myrtle Beach when the wreck happened.
Highway Patrol Lance Cpl. Jeff Gaskins says the van swerved to avoid a trailer that lost a tire and hit a pickup truck head-on.
