A woman who admitted to drinking alcohol and driving well over twice the speed limit when she crashed into a golf cart, killing a bride who had just gotten married on a South Carolina beach, was sentenced Monday to 25 years in prison.

Jamie Lee Komoroski, 27, pleaded guilty in Charleston District Court to involuntary manslaughter, driving under the influence causing death and two counts of driving while intoxicated causing serious bodily injury prior to her sentencing.

Police said she was drinking at several bars on April 28, 2023, and was driving 65 mph on a narrow street in Folly Beach with a 25 mph speed limit when she crashed into the golf cart leaving a wedding wanted.

The bride, 34-year-old Samantha Miller, died in her wedding dress. The groom suffered a brain injury and numerous broken bones. The impact threw the car 100 yards (91 meters).

According to reports in June, the groom, Aric Hutchinson, will receive $863,300 in financial compensation in connection with the accident. Hutchinson has spoken about the loss of his wife, describing her as “an amazing human being who should never have been taken.”

In an interview with ABC, he broke down while trying to remember the incident. “The last thing I remember was that she wanted the night to never end,” Hutchinson told Good Morning America (GMA).

“I’m still trying to understand it. The transition from an all-time high to an all-time low that night is pretty hard to understand,” Hutchinson said on GMA, but declined to comment on Komoroski.

After pleading guilty, Komoroski said she now realized she was addicted to alcohol and didn’t care how her actions affected others. She promised to spend the rest of her life helping addicts and warning them about the dangers of drunk driving. She said she was “devastated, deeply ashamed and regretful” for what she had done.

“I wish I could go back and undo this terrible tragedy. But I can’t. “I will live the rest of my life with deep regret for what happened that night,” she said.

Before the sentencing, Miller’s father told Komoroski he was outraged that she never seemed to accept responsibility. He told her she could apologize, but he didn’t listen to a word.

“For the rest of my life I will hate you, and when I get to hell and you get there, I will open the door for you,” said Brad Warner. “You ruined so many people’s lives.”

Komoroski, 27, pleaded guilty in Charleston District Court to involuntary manslaughter, driving under the influence of alcohol causing death and two counts of driving under the influence of alcohol causing serious bodily injury.

The bride’s mother had previously lashed out at Komoroski, saying she had made “a conscious decision” that was fatal.

“It wasn’t an accident,” Lisa Miller told Fox News. “This person chose to drink, get behind the wheel and tear down my daughter. This is a conscious decision by a young lady.”
