Texas: A newlywed couple was killed in a horrific car crash after leaving the courthouse following their wedding ceremony on Friday. Their car collided with a pickup truck, killing them both, US media reported.
Witnesses said the couple were pulling onto a five-lane highway when the truck towing a trailer carrying a heavy tractor, slammed into their vehicle, according to the Orange Police Department.
“The family was right behind them. They were all going out to go to wherever they were going to have their reception,” Orange police chief Captain Keith Longlois told local media.
Detectives say the truck driver does not appear to be at fault, but he is cooperating with the police. He was not injured and is going to undergo drug and alcohol tests.
The groom’s mother LaShawna Morgan and sister Christina Fontenot had been travelling behind the couple when they crashed.
LaShawna Morgan told KFDM: “They haven’t even been married for five minutes.
Fontenot said the couple had been planning a larger ceremony for December.
