The passenger, Richard Miller, 35, was killed in the accident and pronounced deceased at the scene, according to the church, while Edwards was taken to a local hospital in critical condition, but is now stable and responsive.
"As hard as this is to believe and share, Bro Richard was taken home to be with the Lord. Pastor Edwards is in critical care - but he is stable and responsive and has movement in all extremities," the post from the church read.

"He suffered fractures to his clavicle, sternum, and a vertebra in his back. The biggest concern is a small brain bleed they are keeping an eye on," the post continued.
Officials told WTVG that two other cars were driving nearby when the tree fell and they both sustained damage, but the people inside those vehicles were not injured.
