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 his daughter Sarah was lying in the back seat and 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.

During the 1950’s and 1960’s, over 1,100 sermons were recorded.  The men in charge of this recording were Leo Mercer and Gene Goad, two homosexuals who started a religious commune that William Branham preached at in Prescott, Arizona, and where they sexually abused the members and their childrenThe sermons were then given over to the William Branham Evangelistic Association. The sole director of this Association for a time was Fred Sothmann, who believed that William Branham was God the Father. After William Branham’s death, the audio tapes were transferred into an entity called “Voice of God Recordings”.
