Police announced pianist Roy Bray was killed when an RV he was driving crashed over the weekend on a highway in central Indiana.

The Boone County Sheriff’s Department says 61-year-old Roy Bray of Trenton, Kentucky, was driving the RV carrying the Southman Quartet when it went off Interstate 65 about 2 a.m. Sunday and into a wooded median near Lebanon, about 20 miles northwest of Indianapolis.
