Country music star Conner Smith broke his silence Friday over a car crash that killed an elderly woman, calling it a tragedy that has left his heart “broken.”
Smith addressed the accident publicly for the first time in written Instagram statement Friday, saying he has “grieved, prayed and mourned” ever since the day his Chevrolet Silverado struck 77-year-old Dorothy Dobbins as she crossed at a marked crosswalk in June. Dobbins was rushed to the hospital but later died from her injuries.
“Four weeks ago, I was involved in a tragic vehicle accident that resulted in the loss of a life,” he said. “Not a day has gone by that I haven’t grieved, prayed, and mourned for Ms. Dobbins and her family. My heart is broken in a way I’ve never experienced, and I still struggle to fully process the weight of it all.”
“I ask that you continue to lift the Dobbins family up in prayer by name, asking for God’s peace to surround them each day,” Smith wrote.
The country star said the tragedy deeply affected him and explained his recent absence from the stage.
