CJ Beach, a rising country and rock singer, was killed in a car crash over the weekend, news outlets report. He was 22.

Mr. Beach died early Saturday, just hours after performing at The Salty Donkey in Panacea, Florida.

His father, Charles Beach, said Sunday on social media that the crash happened at the same curve on Rehwinkel Road near Oakwood Trail in Crawfordville, Wakulla County, where a previous wreck occurred. He asked residents to call county commissioners to request warning lights and signs on both sides of it.
