Cardinal Keeler injured; retired priest killed:
Cardinal William H. Keeler was injured in a car accident Saturday that killed another priest while vacationing about 60 miles outside of Rome, a spokesman for the Archdiocese of Baltimore said.
A car struck the passenger side of their vehicle as they drove through the city of Terni, archdiocese spokesman Sean Caine said.
Fr. Bernard Quinn, 78, a retired priest from the Diocese of Harrisburg, was riding in the back seat and was killed in the crash, Caine said. Both the driver, Msgr. Thomas Smith, 75, pastor of St. Joseph parish in Lancaster, Pa., and Keeler, 75, who was in the passenger seat, were injured, Caine said.
