Driving Incident 'Upsets' Travis

A chauffeur for country music singer Randy Travis and his wife suddenly slumped over and died of a heart attack while the couple were in the back seat Sunday.
Travis realized something was wrong and climbed over some luggage and the car seat to reach past the driver and turn off the ignition. The Travis' then hailed a doctor from a passing shuttle bus, but it was too late and the driver, 57-year-old David Baer, died.

"They thought he was reading a map or something, and they were trying to talk to him, and he didn't answer," says Maureen O'Connor, the singer's publicist. "The car swerved and came to a stop at the curb."

Travis, who performed at a Baltimore concert Saturday night in support of his album You and You Alone, and his wife, Lib Hatcher, had just gotten into the limousine Sunday morning after arriving at Los Angeles International Airport.

"It was very upsetting for them," says O'Connor. "Neither one of them had ever been around someone who had died."
