Good man......


BRIDE MOURNS: Groom Hit And
Killed Hours After Wedding......A bride is in mourning. Hours after the wedding, groom William Riley Knight,
49, of Crown Point, Indiana, was run over and killed. His new wife was not injured. They had just left their reception and were headed
home, according to Patti Van Til, a spokeswoman with
the Lake County, Indiana, Sheriff’s Department. “She was still in her wedding dress,” she said. Knight was acting as a good Samaritan on Saturday
night when he stopped to assist Linda Darlington,
whose vehicle had slid into a ditch along a road in
Crown Point. He climbed out to help while his wife
waited in the car. He and Darlington, 42, were struck multiple times as
they stood by the side of the road. She was also killed. According to CNN affiliate WBBM, which spoke to
Knight’s ex-wife, he had four children, including two
stepchildren. He acted in community theater, was a hunter and
reportedly served in the U.S. Army Rangers before
retiring in the mid-1990s. All drivers remained on scene, and there is nothing to
suggest that alcohol was a factor in the crash, Van Til
said. The accident remains under investigation. “He was just trying to do a good thing for somebody in
need,” the spokeswoman said. “It’s very sad. We have a job to do here, but sometimes it
just brings you sadness.”
