About three miles east of Friona, Texas, just after dark, a car traveling west struck Branham's car head-on. The driver of the other car died at the scene, as did the other front seat passenger. The other two passengers in the back seat of the car were severely injured. Branham's wife was seriously injured and their daughter, Sarah, who was laying in the back seat, was also injured. Branham's left arm was mangled and caught in the driver-side door, and his left leg was wrapped around the steering wheel. After about 45 minutes, Branham was pulled from his car and transported to the hospital at Friona, and then later transported to the hospital at Amarillo, Texas. He lived for six days after the crash, dying on December 24, 1965 at 5:49 PM. His body was returned to Jeffersonville, Indiana for burial and was finally buried on April 11, 1966, Easter Monday. | About three miles east of Friona, Texas, just after dark, a car traveling west struck Branham's car head-on.

=Did William Branham prophesy his own death?= | |||
Did William Branham bring about his own death in 1965 by challenging God? Was his death simply God's response to his comment that if he was in error, God should strike him dead? | |||
Three times in the month immediately before his death, William Branham said that God had the authority to kill him if he wasn't telling the truth. | |||
'''Within a month, William Branham was dead.''' | |||
This also ties into the specifics of the [[Hagin Prophecy]] which Gordon Lindsay told William Branham shortly before he died. | |||

''And the Seven Seals of God, when It was opened there on the mountain, '''God will let me die right now at this pulpit if That ain't the Truth.''' And I foretold you, a year and six months before it happened, what He told me, "Go to Arizona," and what would happen out there in the desert. And there's men setting right here, tonight, was standing right there and present when the seven Angels come down. And even mag-... The magazine, Life magazine, packed the article of It. It's right there in the observatory, everything. Now they don't even know what It's all about.<ref>THE.INVISIBLE.UNION.OF.THE.BRIDE.OF.CHRIST_ SHP.LA 65-1125</ref> | |||
''Excuse the expression; but that day, setting there in that woods (and '''God's my judge, and I could fall dead on this pulpit'''), when that Scripture had stumped me all my life... setting there that morning in the woods, and I was thinking on that, and that Voice spoke to me, He said, "That Scripture is like all Scriptures, It's true." | |||
''Why? That is Truth! '''God has the authority to kill me, before these people across the nation.''' Many of you here and in Jeffersonville, I can hear the tabernacle ring out now, "Amen!" because they're setting right there listening at it. See, because it's the Truth! What is it? It's when the God, by His sovereign grace; it happens! Outside of that, it won't happen.<ref>I.HAVE.HEARD.BUT.NOW.I.SEE SHREVEPORT.LA 65-1127E</ref> | |||
