Mangled vehicle ridden by bride Sam Hutchinson seen after fatal crash
Haunting video has emerged of the golf cart-like vehicle that bride Sam Hutchinson and her new husband rode as they left their wedding reception — showing it smashed up and mangled after they were rear-ended by an alleged drunk driver.
Hutchinson, 34, and her new husband Aric Hutchinson were riding in the rear seat, facing backward, when they were smashed into by a car driving at 65 mph.
The seat on which the newlyweds sat is lopsided.
Pieces of the bride’s wedding gown were stuck in the bumper of the rental car, the outlet noted.
Everything you need to know about Sam Hutchinson's tragic death
Who was Sam Hutchinson?
The 34-year-old was tragically killed by a drunk driver as she was leaving her wedding reception with her husband, Aric, who suffered severe injuries.
Hutchinson was reportedly killed by Jamie Lee Komoroski, who was three-times over the legal limit, while the bride and groom exited the wedding reception on a golf cart.
Hutchinson was declared dead at the scene.
Aric filed a wrongful death suit against the alleged drunk driver and the bars that he says over served her before the horrific incident.
What will happen to Jamie Lee Komoroski?
Komoroski, 25, plowed into the Hutchinsons’ golf cart while driving around 65 miles per hour, according to Folly Beach police.
The driver reportedly smelled of alcohol but refused to take a sobriety test.
She was charged with three felony DUIs resulting in great bodily injury or death and one count of reckless homicide. She is facing up to 25 years in jail.
Despite alleged special treatment in jail, Komoroski reportedly has griped about everything, from the food to not being allowed to hold the TV remote control — and not getting an exercise mat to do crunches.
Komoroski has started outlining her plans for her own wedding in a tearful jail phone call with her father, obtained exclusively by The Post.
It was initially reported that the vehicle was a golf cart, however, Folly Beach Public Safety Department Chief Andrew Gilreath confirmed it was what is called a low-speed vehicle, or LSV.
Will Harton, the CEO of Elto Lesire Cars, said that, unlike golf carts, LSVs are equipped with an array of enhanced safety features, including headlights, brake lights, turn signals, seat belts, an advanced braking system, and reflectors.
“Golf carts can be operated within four miles of your home during daylight hours, not on main surface streets, more neighborhood riding,” he told the outlet, adding that LSVs can’t be driven above 35 mph.
Hutchinson was declared dead at the scene, while her badly injured husband and two others were hospitalized.
The driver of the car which hit them, Jamie Lee Komoroski, 25, was arrested and charged with DUI involving death and reckless homicide.
She is on suicide watch in jail.
