Three Members of Gospel Group the Nelons Die in Plane Crash


Three of the four members of the veteran family gospel group the Nelons died in a plane crash en route to perform on the annual Gaither Family Cruise.

On Saturday, a spokesperson for the National Transportation Safety Board said that the aircraft was “in a remote location” and that investigators had not yet reached the scene, where firefighters had been involved in containing a multi-acre blaze near the crash site Friday night. A statement from Gaither Family Management said: “Autumn, Jason and Kelly’s youngest daughter, and her husband, Jamie Streetman, were not on the plane and arrived safely into Seattle and were notified of the accident. Autumn and Jamie will return home for now to Kelly’s brother, Todd Nelon and his wife, Rhonda, to begin the hard tasks that lie ahead.
