Excerpts from AP News, “Tributes pour in for R&B singer Angie Stone after her death at 63 in a highway crash” MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Fans are remembering the voice and songs of trailblazer Angie Stone after her death at 63 in a weekend crash on an Alabama highway as she traveled from a performance. The Grammy-nominated R&B singer was a member of the all-female hip- hop trio The Sequence and known for the hit song “Wish I Didn’t Miss You.” She found a sweet spot in the early 2000s as neo-soul began to dominate R&B. The Alabama Highway Patrol said the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van that Stone was traveling in overturned on Interstate 65 early Saturday before being hit by a 2021 Freightliner Cascadia truck. Stone was pronounced dead at the scene, the highway patrol said in a statement. The crash occurred about 5 miles (8 kilometers) south of the Montgomery city limits. The van’s driver and seven others were taken to a hospital for treatment. Officials continue to investigate the crash.
