Kirsty & Ryan on their wedding day. // A couple who met while one of them was being crushed by a car have tied the knot - and put their bizarre meeting down to fate. Kirsty Southern spotted future hubby Ryan McLeod trapped underneath a car as she left her swimming class in October 2020 and said it was love at first sight. Ryan, 46, had just finished a workout at the Corby International Pool and Gym when he was hit by a car while trying to navigate the zebra crossing on George Street. The hapless driver then tried reversing, only to hit Ryan again - trapping him underneath the vehicle. Customer service agent Kirsty spotted Ryan in trouble, rushing over to comfort him, but couldn?t get over how attractive he was - despite the circumstances. Several weeks later the pair reconnected after Ryan appealed for witnesses to the incident, only to fall madly in love. Photo released 19/10/2025
