A tragic incident in South Carolina has resulted in a $1.3 million partial settlement approved by a judge in the case of a bride, Samantha Miller, who was killed by a drunken driver just hours after her wedding. The collision occurred on April 28, 2023, near Charleston, South Carolina, when Jamie Lee Komoroski, 26, crashed her rental car into a golf cart carrying Samantha Miller, 34, and her new spouse Aric Hutchinson. The crash resulted in the death of Miller and severe injuries to Hutchinson, as well as two others in the golf cart.
The settlement, totaling $1.3 million, will benefit Miller's estate and the other injured parties. The bars that served Komoroski before the crash and the rental car company she used will be responsible for the seven-figure award. After legal fees, the parties will receive $863,000 from the settlement.
