TX - Newlyweds Die In Honeymoon Helicopter Crash (Video)

In what can only be described as a horrible tragedy, a young couple from Texas were killed when a helicopter carrying them away from their own wedding crashed late on Saturday night. The accident occurred near the city of Uvalde, some 85 miles west of San Antonio

Both 24-year-olds Mr Will Byler and Miss Bailee Ackerman Byler studied at Sam Houston State University. The student newspaper was the first to report their tragic passing.
