On Tuesday, July 14, 2015, attorney Anders Blewett said insurers for the Southern Baptist Convention have agreed to pay $26 million to Jeremy Vangsnes, a South Carolina man who was paralyzed and suffered brain damage in a rollover crash during the missionary trip in Montana. District Judge Mike Salvagni ruled on June 19 that the driver was acting within the course and scope of his association with the mission group at the time of the July 2009 wreck.
