ADAIRSVILLE, Ga. (AP) - Georgia State Patrol officials say the pastor of a Rome church was killed in a head-on collision.
The Rome News-Tribune reports (https://bit.ly/1ohBtVL ) the Rev. Nim Russell, pastor at Thankful Baptist Church, died in the wreck just west of Adairsville around 8:30 p.m. Sunday.
