Texas newlyweds killed in car crash minutes after wedding

A Texas couple died in a car crash minutes after their wedding ceremony on Friday.

Harley Joe Morgan 19, and Rhiannon Boudreaux Morgan, 20, of Vidor, Texas, died in the collision around 3 p.m. Friday afternoon.

They were pulling out of a private drive and onto a highway after leaving the Justice of the Peace courtroom when a pickup truck slammed into them.

Harley Morgan was driving a 2004 Chevrolet and a man was driving at 2015 Ford F-250 truck with a trailer carrying a tractor when the vehicles collided.

The couple died at the scene, but the driver of the F-250 was not injured. “They hadn’t even been married for five minutes,” the groom’s mother, Kennia Morgan told local CBS affiliate KFDM.

She was behind the couple and witnessed the crash.

“I watched my baby die,” Kennia Morgan said. “I’m still wearing my son’s blood because I was trying my best to rip him and her out of the car.”

The couple planned to have a larger ceremony on Dec. 20 “with the flowers, all the friends, rest of the family, everything,” the groom’s sister, Christina Fontenot said.

“I witnessed my own worst nightmare,” Kennia Morgan told KFDM. “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."

Married Only Minutes, Texas Newlyweds Killed in Crash

Aug 24, 2019

ORANGE, Texas — Harley Morgan was still wearing his dark suit and Rhiannon Boudreaux her wedding dress when the Texas "childhood sweethearts" were killed in a crash with a truck minutes after they were married.

Nineteen-year-old Morgan and 20-year-old Boudreaux were pronounced dead Friday at the scene by the same justice of the peace who had just married them.

"I'm talking five minutes. You may kiss the bride," said Orange Police Cpt. Keith Longlois. "The family was right behind them. They were all going out to go to wherever they were going to have their reception," he said.

Longlois said they were "childhood sweethearts" who decided to be married by a popular Orange County Justice of the Peace Joy Dubose-Simonton.

He said the groom was driving when he tried to exit the driveway of the Justice of The Peace building onto a five-lane highway. A truck pulling a trailer carrying a heavy tractor slammed into their vehicle. The force was so great that witnesses said the car flipped multiple times before coming to rest in a ditch.

The driver of the truck was not identified but Longlois said he was cooperating with the investigation and there was no sign of wrongdoing. Drug and alcohol tests would be conducted, he said.

"I had to sit there and watch my two babies die," the mother of the groom, LaShawna Morgan, told the Beaumont Enterprise.
