Wedding on hold after groom gets hurt in East Bay car crash [Video]

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. – An East Bay couple’s wedding is on hold after the groom-to-be gets hit by a truck on his way home from work.

“They cut open the side of my leg right here, put a plate in there, and then they put eight screws,” Taylor Stevens of San Leandro explained to KTVU.

Stevens is in a lot of pain after a major car accident just weeks before his wedding.

“All I could think about was my fiancé, my mom, my dad,” said Stevens.

The 24-year-old’s Chevy truck was left mangled after he briefly turned around to see loose cargo in the back of his truck and rear-ended a big rig on Highway 24 in Lafayette on Tuesday night.

“So unfortunately, I’m not going to be able to walk down the aisle like that, which is a bummer,” said Stevens, who was planning to get hitched on October 13 to his fiancé Chelsea Fiero.
