Dad in Hit and Run after Daughter’s Wedding
A man from Tuscaloosa in Alabama was putting chairs and tables in the back of his truck at his daughter’s wedding reception when a car hit him and then continued to drive away.
Just a few hours before, Willard Forward had been walking down the aisle with his daughter, Victoria Forward Fason. The reception took place at the Battle-Friedman House and Willard danced with his daughter. Later on in the evening while Victoria and her new husband Brad were enjoying a horse-drawn carriage ride, Willard was doing some tidying away of furniture when he was knocked down by a truck or SUV which threw him into the air. The car continued to drive away leaving Willard in the road.
Willard sustained injuries which consisted of his teeth being knocked out and multiple breaks including three ribs, his thigh bones, a vertebra and his eye socket. The paramedics reached him within minutes and Willard spent a few hours in surgery the next day. He is currently resting in hospital and does not remember what happened. It will take him a few months to recover completely.
Victoria was understandably upset and stated that when she received the call to tell her about her father’s accident she simultaneously heard the ambulance sirens.
The Police are currently investigating the incident.
