The legendary R&B singer Angie Stone has passed away.

Stone was killed in a car accident in Montgomery, Alabama.

A semi truck hit the tour van that Stone was riding in. Apparently, the vehicle went across the median and collided with the tour van which Stone rode in.

Grammy winning singer-songwriter Stone (born Angela Laverne Brown) was killed in a crash on Interstate 65 in Montgomery County early Saturday morning, her manager Deborah Champagne confirmed to WSFA 12 News. She was 63.

She rose to fame in the late 1970s as member of the hip hop trio the Sequence. In the early 1990s, she became a member of the R&B trio Vertical Hold. Stone then signed with Arista Records to release her debut solo album Black Diamond (1999), which received gold certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and spawned the single "No More Rain (In This Cloud)".

Champagne says Stone was leaving a performance in Montgomery County and heading toward the CIAA basketball tournament in Baltimore when the crash happened.

Interstate 65 was partially blocked in Montgomery County for hours due to the wreck, which involved a commercial vehicle.

Stone leaves behind two children. Stone's daughter, Diamond, was born in 1984 and is from her marriage to Rodney Stone, also known as Lil' Rodney C!, from the hip-hop group Funky Four Plus One. Diamond contributed background vocals to Stone's 2007 song "Baby". Diamond gave birth to Stone's grandson in 2008 and another grandchild in July 2012.

During the 1990s, Stone was in a relationship with neo soul singer D'Angelo. They have a son named Michael D'Angelo Archer II. He was born in 1998.

Someone took the images of the aftermath.

Stone lived in Atlanta, Georgia with her son, Michael and her daughter, Diamond.

In March 2015, it was reported that Stone had been arrested for assaulting her 30-year-old daughter.

In 1999, Stone was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and, along with comedian-actor Anthony Anderson, was part of the F.A.C.E Diabetes (Fearless African-Americans Connected and Empowered) program sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company, which helps African Americans understand their risk for diabetes and how to control it. Stone said that both her mother and her mother's sister were diabetic.

Stone is an honorary member of Zeta Phi Beta sorority. She was inducted in July 2024 at the sorority's Boulé in Indianapolis, Indiana.

According to the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency, the crash happened just before 7 a.m. about 2 miles south of Hope Hull and blocked the left northbound lane and the left southbound lanes.

ALEA Troopers declared all lanes open and the scene clear at 11 a.m.

Nothing further is available at this time. ALEA Troopers continue investigate the incident.
