Newlyweds die in helicopter crash few hours after wedding
A couple who were just married an hour and a half were killed over the weekend when their helicopter went down in Uvalde, Texas.
The groom’s grandfather William Byler confirmed that the aircraft went down Saturday at their family ranch. His grandson Will Byler, his new wife Bailee Ackerman and the aircraft’s pilot, Gerald Green Lawrence all died in the crash.
Officials are investigating, and the San Antonio Fire Department deployed 10 units to help. The investigative body did not immediately confirm how many people were killed.
The couple’s wedding portal on planning website The Knot further confirmed their nuptials taking place on Nov. 3 in Uvalde on Byler’s family ranch. Engagement photos also show Byler in his cowboy hat in various forms of embrace with Ackerman.
The Sam Houston State University students were surrounded by family and friends as they flew off in the family helicopter.
A guest at that wedding submitted video shot of the couple’s lavish departure on board the doomed aircraft.
