Grammy-winning singer Steven Curtis Chapman is in shock after his five-year-old daughter was killed after she was struck by a car driven by her teenage brother.

The Christian rock star's daughter Maria Sue was hit in the driveway of the family's home in Nashville, Tennessee on Wednesday.

According to the family's spokeswoman, Laura McPherson, the brother - who has not been named - did not see his sister. She said no charges are expected.

McPherson adds, "It looks like a tragic accident."

Maria was one of three children Chapman and his wife, Mary Beth, adopted from China.
