Jana Miles-Burnett, a 40-year-old woman from Franklin County, Illinois, had just exchanged vows with her new husband William on Saturday when the two of them got on his motorcycle to drive to their wedding reception. En route, the Burnetts crashed into a deer that ran into the middle of the road. Miles-Burnett, still in her wedding dress, was thrown from the motorcycle and later died, The Southern Illinoisan reports.
According to a GoFundMe created by Miles-Burnett's son-in-law Khole, the money raised will go toward a memorial and funeral for his mother-in-law. Khole writes that in the two years he knew Miles-Burnett, "not once did [he] witness [her] in a bad mood!" He said she brought smiles to everybody she met.
The Southern Illinoisan reports Miles-Burnett was seriously injured but alive when emergency crews were called to the scene. She was transported to a nearby hospital where she died soon after. Her husband of just a few hours suffered minor injuries and has since been released from the hospital.
According to Inside Edition, Miles-Burnett's two children, Sarah Smillie, 22, and Cody Miles, 14, have seen their stepfather every day since the accident. "He's holding up," Smillie told Inside Edition. "He's like me. Every hour or so he breaks down."
This was Miles-Burnett's second marriage — her children "hadn't seen her that happy in a long time."
