Crash Kills New York Groom Hours After Wedding

DOVER PLAINS, N.Y. – State police say a groom died in a New York accident just hours after his wedding.

According to the Journal News, Nicholas Hoag of Wingdale died late Saturday night in Dover Plains, N.Y.

He was a passenger on a utility terrain vehicle that struck a tree and overturned, pinning him underneath.

Police said his brother was charged with driving while intoxicated.

Hoag and Amber Sartori had married earlier that day at the Holy Trinity Roman Catholic Church in Sherman, Conn.

The bride is a nurse at the Putnam Valley Hospital Center.

Her father, Michael Sartori of Wingdale, calls the tragedy a "living nightmare."

The groom's brother was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. The paper says a call placed to their parents was not answered.
