American Idol first introduced Rickey Smith to the world way back in 2003.
Season 2 Idol finalist Rickey Smith was killed in a multi-car crash on an Oklahoma highway on Thursday night.
Rickey Smiths car collided with another just outside of Oklahoma City, according to TMZ.
Rickey Smith was unfortunately not among them, but his fellow Season 2 contestants Ruben Studdard and Clay Aiken appeared to give swan song performances.
