Pastor's Funeral Scheduled For Friday

There is a funeral service Friday for Reverend Ronnie Wilson, who died in a car accident on Nov. 21.

There will be visitation from noon until 3 p.m. prior to the service at South Point Free Will Baptist Church on 297 Gaither Road in Belmont, where Reverend Wilson was a pastor.

He died in a car crash in South Carolina when he and some church members were coming back from a golf retreat in Myrtle Beach.

Wilson was driving the church van when a truck pulling a trailer lost a tire, police said.

Officers said Wilson tried to swerve to avoid the tire and crashed head-on with a pick-up truck.

Wilson died on the scene, officials said.

He was a pastor at South Point Free Will Baptist Church for more than a decade.
