- A young couple with ties to Western Washington was killed in a crash, just 22 days after getting married.
Now, their family is fundraising to bring their bodies home.
Last Tuesday, a trucker from Albuquerque, New Mexico, came upon the crash on Highway 371.
The trucker said he saw a speeding driver pass him right before crashing into that couple.
George Stokes, the trucker, was with 23-year-old newlyweds Serenne Mikel and Casey Daniel as they took their last breaths.
Their car was on fire.
“So, I ran up and I started to pour my fire extinguisher to get the flames out,” he said. “It’s probably one of the worst ones I’ve seen in terms of the speed of the collision.”
Then he and the other Good Samaritans tried speaking to Serenne, who had been driving.
The couple died a few minutes later.
