Couple tragically killed on the way to their wedding after a tractor-trailer crashed into their car causing it to burst into flames
A New Jersey couple was tragically killed while they were on the way to their Pennsylvania wedding after a tractor-trailer mowed down their vehicle on the Interstate 78 in Windsor Township, Berks County and caused it to burst into flames. 35-year-old Kathryn M. Schurtz and fiancé Joseph D. Kearney both lost their lives in the collision, with three other people also reportedly injured as a result of the impact of the accident.
According to the Daily Mail, the couple was driving to Pittsburgh, where they would be tying the knot, when the driver of the tractor-trailer failed to slow down on the interstate and plowed into their vehicle. The accident then caused the couple's vehicle to push into the back of another tractor-trailer, resulting in a chain reaction where four other articulated lorries were said to be involved.
