Folly Beach crash: Drunk driver Jamie Komoroski sentenced to 25 years for killing newlywed bride on her wedding day

A Wedding Day Turned Nightmare: Justice Served for Devastating Drunk Driving Incident

In a heart-wrenching case that has shocked the community, Jamie Lee Komoroski, 27, has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for a catastrophic drunk driving incident that claimed the life of a bride on her wedding day and left her husband fighting to recover from devastating injuries.

A night of celebration turns tragic

On April 28, 2023, what should have been a joyous celebration of love became a scene of unimaginable horror. Komoroski, driving at 65 mph in a 25 mph zone with a blood alcohol content three times the legal limit, rear-ended a golf cart carrying newlyweds Samantha Miller and Aric Hutchinson, along with two other wedding party members.

The devastating aftermath

Miller, 34, was pronounced dead at the scene, still wearing her wedding dress—a heartbreaking symbol of a life and future brutally cut short. Her husband, Aric Hutchinson, suffered a traumatic brain injury and multiple broken bones, leaving him struggling with both physical and emotional trauma.

Courtroom testimony reveals depth of grief

In a deeply emotional court proceeding, Hutchinson shared his last moments with his wife. “On the golf cart, she told me she didn’t want the night to end, and I kissed her on the forehead, and then the next thing I remember is waking up in the hospital,” he testified, revealing the raw pain of his loss.

Komoroski pleaded guilty to multiple charges, including:

  • Felony driving under the influence resulting in death
  • Felony driving under the influence resulting in great bodily injury
  • Reckless homicide

The court sentenced her to the maximum 25 years for the death count, with additional concurrent sentences totaling 25 years.

Victim impact and remorse

“I wish I could go back and undo this tragedy. But I cannot. I will live the rest of my life with intense regret for what happened that night,” Komoroski said, expressing remorse for her actions.

Miller’s father, Brad Warner, delivered a scathing statement to Komoroski, declaring, “The rest of my life I’m going to hate you and when I arrive in hell and you come there, I will open the door for you. You have ruined so many people’s lives.”

Financial compensation and ongoing trauma

Hutchinson was awarded $863,000 in legal settlements from three bars that served Komoroski, her insurance firm, and the car rental company. However, no amount of money can replace the life stolen on what should have been the happiest day of a young couple’s life.

A broader message about drunk driving

Komoroski has pledged to spend the remainder of her life helping addicts and educating people about the dangers of drunk driving—a promise that rings hollow in the face of the immeasurable loss she has caused.

This tragic case serves as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of drunk driving. One moment of reckless decision-making can destroy multiple lives, shattering families and futures in an instant.

As Komoroski begins her 25-year prison sentence, the memory of Samantha Miller and the pain of her loved ones will continue to resonate as a powerful testament to the critical importance of responsible driving.
