Less than 48 hours after Jessiah Plemons, 31, and Lily Rose, 25, eloped, the couple was killed when a truck struck and killed them as they stood by their disabled vehicle.

According to Knoxville police, the Tennessee couple along with Madison Davis, 23, were involved in an accident on the exit ramp of a highway around 3 a.m. on October 17.

They all exited their truck , and shortly after another truck hit them and their vehicle. They were all pronounced dead at the scene.

“I think that’s what made it harder, is the fact that she was the happiest she’d ever been and it got taken away from her,” August McClelland, Lily’s cousin, said.

Police believe that Jessiah, Lily, and Madison were traveling on the I-40 West exit ramp to Weisgarber Road when their Dodge pickup left the roadway and struck a guardrail.

It’s believed they all exited the vehicle and were standing next to it when another pickup truck struck them and their vehicle.

The driver of the other vehicle was transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Now Jessiah and Lily’s families must mourn their loss.
