According to USA Today, the Ohio wedding day crash happened on Sunday just a few hours after the groom identified as 27-year-old Andrew M. Bloomfield and his bride, 37-year-old Ruth D. Driskill, exchanged their wedding vows.

Hetzel noted that after the truck hit an embankment, it began to roll until it hit a utility pole and rolled a couple more before it completely came to a halt in a cornfield.

Wyandot East EMS, Fire and Rescue and Upper Sandusky Emergency Medical Service assisted the removal of all four at the scene of the crash, reports Detroit Free Press.
"Andy Bloomfield was my best friend, my brother," Jessica Lehner, Bloomfield's friend said. "He was always there for me and I wouldn't ever let him down nor would he let me down. He meant the world to me. He was always there for me and my brother and my family."
