South Carolina police have released new video of the night a drunk driver was arrested after killing a bride on her wedding day in 2023.  

Jamie Lee Komoroski was sentenced to 25 years in prison after crashing into a golf cart carrying newlyweds leaving their reception.

The punishment represented the maximum sentence for Komoroski,  who pleaded guilty to reckless homicide, felony DUI causing death, and two counts of felony DUI causing great bodily injury.

Komoroski collided on April 28, 2023, with a golf cart outside of Folly Beach carrying the bride and groom, Samantha Miller and Aric Hutchinson, while driving 65 mph, over two times the beach road’s speed limit.

The cart was thrown 100 yards in the crash, leaving Hutchinson with a brain injury and broken bones, and killing Miller, who was still wearing her wedding dress. The crash injured two others in the cart as well.
