Just five hours after walking down the aisle, a 34-year-old bride has tragically di€d after she was h#t by an alleged dr¥nken driver in a beach in the U.S.
Samantha Miller just left her wedding reception on Friday night, April 28, when she was h#t by a car in Folly Beach, South Carolina.
CNN reports that Miller was riding in a golf cart-style vehicle with husband Aric Hutchinson and two others when the driver h#t them, causing the cart to roll several times.
Three other passengers were inj¥red, two seriously — including Miller’s husband, according to Chief Andrew Gilreath, the public safety director for Folly Beach, a beachside community near Charleston.
The golf cart-style vehicle, decorated with cans and a “just married” sign, “was quite mangled, and it was on its side,” Gilreath said. First responders attempted to revive Miller, but she di€d at the scene, he said.
Hutchinson’s mother, Annette, disclosed that the cra§h tossed the cart more than 100 yards. Adding that her son s¥ffered several broken bones and a brain inj¥ry, and has had at least one reconstructive surgery.
“I was handed Aric’s wedding ring in a plastic bag at the hospital, five hours after Sam placed it on his finger and they read each other their vows. Aric has lost the love of his life,” she said.
Miller, who was from North Carolina, di€d of blunt force injuries, according to the Charleston County Coroner’s Office.
The suspect, Jamie Lee Komoroski, 25, was charged with one count of reckless hom#cide and three counts of felony DUI resulting in great bodily h@rm, online court records show. Her vehicle was traveling 65 mph in a 25 mph zone, according to Gilreath.
