Woman indicted for driving drunk and ‘killing bride on wedding day’

A 25-year-old South Carolina woman has been indicted on four counts, including felony DUI resulting in death, two counts of felony DUI with great bodily injury and reckless homicide

A South Carolina Grand Jury on Sept. 12 returned an indictment on four charges for a woman who was driving under the influence and well over twice the speed limit when she slammed into the back of a golf cart, killing a bride on her wedding day and injuring three others.

Data retrieved from Jamie Lee Komoroski’s rental car indicated she was driving 65 mph (105 kph) and only briefly hit the brakes before she hit the golf cart around 10 p.m. Friday on Folly Beach, investigators said. The speed limit on the island near Charleston is 25 mph (40 kph).

Aric Hutchinson, 36, the husband of the bridge that was killed, already filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Komoroski on May 17. The lawsuit alleges Komoroski had a “booze-filled day of bar hopping”, and the establishments she visited that day had an obligation to “exercise due care” in serving alcoholic beverages. In addition to Komoroski, the lawsuit names Snapper Jacks, The Drop-In Bar and Deli, The Crab Shack, Taco Boy, El Gallo Bar and Grill, and Bottle Cap Holdings, LLC.
