Country singer Conner Smith is speaking out for the first time since his tragic accident last month in which his pickup truck struck and killed 77-year-old Dorothy Dobbins in Nashville.
In a statement shared on Instagram on Friday, July 11, Smith, 29, expressed his deep sorrow over the incident. "Four weeks ago, I was involved in a tragic vehicle accident that resulted in the loss of a life," Smith wrote. "Not a day has gone by that I haven’t grieved, prayed, and mourned for Ms. Dobbins and her family. My heart is broken in a way I’ve never experienced, and I still struggle to fully process the weight of it all."
Smith, who had been performing in the weeks leading up to the accident, said he made the decision to step away from shows. “I made the decision to step away from shows these past few weeks. I have always found that making music and playing shows is a place of healing for me - but for this moment, it was important for me to take time away,” the statement read.
