Married only Minutes, Couple Dies In Car Crash Minutes After Their Wedding

A couple has been killed in an accident only minutes after getting married.

Harley Joe Morgan, 19, and Rhiannon Boudreaux Morgan, 20, said their vows in a Texas courtroom and were just driving out of the courtroom when they collided with a pick-up truck.

The groom was driving a Chevrolet when he collided with a Ford pick-up truck which was towing a trailer carrying a tractor at 3pm on Friday, according to KFDM.

The couple, from the Orange County city of Vidor, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash. However, the male driver of the pick-up truck was not injured, said police.
Harley and Rhiannon were childhood sweethearts and always wanted to get married.

Harley’s mum Lashawna Morgan and sister Christina Fontenot witnessed the horrific scene as they drove behind the newlyweds.

Lashawna narrated how she tried to pull the couple from the wreckage as she watched her child die in front of her. She said, "I witnessed my own worst nightmare,".

"That's an image that will haunt me the rest of my life. I won't forget it. It will never go away. I will see that truck hit my baby and kill my baby every night of my life, the rest of the time that I'm on earth."

The heartbroken mother added that her son and Rhiannon had been in love ever since they met at the age of 13.

Lashawna told KDFM: "They had just gotten married. They haven’t even been married for five minutes. Those two babies. The only thing that they wanted was to get married and start their life. The two of them had so many dreams."

She added that they were planning a bigger ceremony with all their friends and family on December 20 so they could enjoy a Christmas wedding.

Justice of the Peace Joy Dubose-Simonton, who conducted the couple’s wedding later went to the crash scene to pronounce the couple dead, said KFDM.

US president Donald Trump showed his dislike towards House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as he snubbed her handshake after giving her a copy of his written speech during the State of the Union address to congress at Capitol Hill on Tuesday night. Trump, still unhappy at Pelosi's orchestrated impeachment effort towards him, turned away as the Speaker took her copy of his speech, then stood in front of a chamber with echoes of 'four more years' from Republicans - while Democrats sat stone-faced. Pelosi, angered by Trump's snub, did not give Trump the typical introduction a speaker gives the President. Traditionally, speakers introduce the President this way: 'Members of Congress, I have the high privilege and distinct honor of presenting to you the President of the United States'.
