Groom-to-be in Serious Condition after Hit and Run

There’s a bride-to-be who was less than 6 weeks away from what was supposed to be her wedding day.  This time was supposed to be the start of a new life together – filled with planning and anticipation.  This time was supposed to be the time when she should have been imagining the years ahead, of hoping and dreaming about their future together.

This past weekend, their dream turned into a nightmare.  While at Sun Peaks, her fiancé was celebrating the upcoming nuptials with close friends.  On the walk back to where he was staying, at about 3:00am on July 19, 2015, he was struck by a truck (described as a dark coloured Chevy S10 or similar) and sustained severe injuries. 

The bride-to-be is now sitting by her fiancé’s side in a Kamloops hospital room.  Praying, pleading for his health; he is in serious condition.  The bright future that laid ahead for the couple, just a few days ago – now seems incredibly uncertain.    The months ahead will be focused on recovery and healing – coping as best as possible. 

The prospect of the future is made even more uncertain as the person responsible for his injuries remains at-large.  The driver of the truck that struck him did not remain on the scene and has not come forward – making a tragic and heartbreaking situation an order of magnitude worse.

It is hoped that the damage will be mitigated.  That he will recover as best as possible from his injuries.  That the person responsible will come forward, or that information will lead to his/her identification and that he/she will be held accountable for the hit and run.  The family has posted a $10,000 reward for information that leads to the driver responsible being held accountable. 

Anyone with information on this hit and run incident is asked to call League and Williams Law Corporation at 250-888-0002 – information that leads to a criminal or civil conviction of the driver will be considered for a $10,000 reward.
