Car Accident Kills Groom on Wedding Day

A 28-year-old groom was killed on Saturday, the day of his wedding, after being hit by a car that ran a red light.

Chris Raynor was in the backseat of his best man’s car and on the way to breakfast when James Early ran a red light and slammed into them. Raynor was ejected and according to the police report, was then run over by a third vehicle.

Raynor was taken to WakeMed in Raleigh, NC, where he was later pronounced dead.

The wedding then became a memorial service for Raynor’s fiancé, Karen Taylor, and their family and friends.

Early will be facing misdemeanor death by vehicle charges.
