On March 1, 2025, the music world was rocked by the tragic news that neo-soul icon Angie Stone was killed in a fatal car crash on a highway in Alabama. The Grammy-nominated singer, known for her soulful voice and timeless hits, reportedly traveled in a passenger van when the accident occurred.
Authorities have now launched a criminal investigation into the circumstances surrounding the crash. According to veteran journalist Dennis Byron, the driver involved—who was not Stone’s regular chauffeur—may have been under the influence of alcohol at the time. Byron also reported that other passengers in the vehicle had warned the driver about his reckless behavior moments before the accident.
This incident marked the driver’s first time behind the wheel for Angie Stone, raising further questions about the vetting process and protocols surrounding her transportation.
