A bride is dead and her groom has been seriously injured after their golf cart was involved in a car accident just moments after the bride and groom said, “I do.”
According to ABC News, Samantha Miller was 34 years old as she donned her gorgeous white dress to marry the love of her life. Sadly, the couple’s big day ended in tragedy when their golf cart was hit by a suspected drunk driver.

The suspected drunk driver has been identified as 25-year-old Jamie Komoroski. Komoroski has been arrested and charged with three counts of DUI causing serious bodily injury/death and one count of reckless homicide.

Komoroski was reportedly driving 65 miles per hour in a 25 miles-per-hour zone when the accident occurred. Her blood alcohol levels have not yet been revealed to the public.

Miller’s groom has been identified as Aric Hutchinson by a GoFundMe account set up by the groom’s mother. As Aric’s mom explained in the GoFundMe description, Aric and Samantha were being escorted from their wedding reception by two of their family members went the golf cart was struck by Komoroski’s vehicle.

The GoFundMe reports that the two other passengers, identified as “Ben and Brogan were also injured, Ben seriously.”

“Aric lost the love of his life when my new daughter-in-law Samantha ‘Sam’ Hutchinson was tragically killed by a drunk driver moments after the picture above while leaving her wedding reception on April 28th in Folly Beach, South Carolina,” Aric’s mom shared.

The impact of the vehicle hitting the golf cart caused the cart to travel nearly a football field away from the initial impact and “roll several times.”

“Aric is in serious condition and has had one of two reconstruction surgeries, numerous broken bones, and a brain injury, he will have a long recovery,” Arnette Hutchinson wrote on the GoFundMe page.

“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.”

So far, the GoFundMe page has raised more than $448,000 to “help pay for Sam’s burial and medical costs for Aric and his family.”

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Miller and Hutchinson families.
