A groom-to-be was killed in horror wrong-way crash in Manhattan early Saturday — just one day before his wedding, The Post can confirm.
Kirk Walker, 38, of Manhattan, was with his cousin Rob McLaurin, 40, celebrating his bachelor party ahead of his nuptials when their Dodge Challenger was hit by a pickup truck driving the wrong way on the Henry Hudson Parkway in Harlem, according to a Facebook post.
Walker was due to be married Sunday, according to his wedding website.
A representative at Royal Manor in Garfield, New Jersey — the venue for the wedding — confirmed that the ceremony had been canceled due to “a fatal crash.”
Walker and McLaurin, were driving a black-and-orange Dodge Challenger north on the Henry Hudson Parkway near West 154th Street at around 2:20 a.m. when a pickup truck smashed into them head-on as it careened down the highway, according to police and sources.
Both men died during the vicious collision, which left the big Challenger crumpled into a shattered ball of metal.
A woman on social media identified Walker as a “neighborhood ‘nephew’ to all the homies in the hood” who had been out for his bachelor party — he was supposed to get married Sunday, she wrote.
“His cousin from NC that came up for the wedding also died,” the woman, Alexis Stewart, wrote on Facebook.
Meanwhile, the driver of the deadly wrong-way pickup truck is still on the loose — the person took off shortly after the accident, as did the pickup’s passenger.
The passenger was collared about 30 feet from the crash, however, and brought to a local hospital.
