Marvin Sapp Turns Viral Controversy Into A Song — But Not Everyone’s Praising Him

As you’re well aware, Stone was killed in a car crash in March, while traveling from Alabama to Atlanta. Stone’s manager confirmed that the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van she was traveling in flipped over and was hit by a truck. The “63-year-old “No More Rain” singer, who was pronounced dead at the scene, was the only fatality in the crash. There were also nine other people in the vehicle with Stone at the time of the crash, including her bandmates and entourage.

Now per Page Six, Stone’s two children–son Swayvo Twain (born Michael Archer Jr.,) and Diamond Stone–have filed a new lawsuit in Atlanta. In it, they allege that their mother survived the initial car crash and that she was still trying to exit the van by the time a tractor trailer slammed into it. As a result, Stone was allegedly ejected from the van and pinned under it, ultimately bringing about her tragic demise.

Now, her children are suing the drivers of both the sprinter van and the tractor-trailer, as well as the trucking company and manufacturer of the truck for negligence. They’re seeking a jury trial and are additionally alleging that “the collision mitigation system in the tractor-trailer failed to function properly, contributing to the fatality.” After the trial, they’re hoping to walk away with payment for hospital bills, attorney fees, damages and whatever else a judge feels they’re owed.

“Angie Stone’s death was a totally senseless and preventable tragedy,” Stone’s family attorney said. “Angie was an immensely talented and incredibly generous woman in life and her death leaves a bottomless void in the lives of her family and friends.  Angie’s children are focused on obtaining justice for Angie by shining a light on what happened in an effort to prevent it from happening to others.”

Legal representation for both drivers, the trucking company nor the manufacturer of the truck have yet to comment publicly on the matter.
