Haunting video shows bride killed by drunk driver on her wedding night leaving ceremony under canopy of sparklers moments before her death, as sobbing mom slams killer for 'ramming' her daughter
Heartbreaking videos show the last moments of a bride who was killed by a drunk driver on her wedding night.
Jamie Lee Komoroski, 25, allegedly rear-ended Samantha Miller, 34, and Aric Hutchinson, 36, as they traveled in a golf cart from their nuptials at Folly Beach, South Carolina, on Friday.
Sam was killed instantly in the smash, with her husband left in critical condition after the vehicle rolled several times over 100 yards.
Read the rest if you want to depress yourself. The husband survived the incident, but he suffered a brain injury, and it's not clear whether he knows he just lost his wife. Some stories just hit you, and this was one of them.
It boggles my mind the evil and destruction of lives and property that alcohol creates in the world, yet it is pushed on us by media influencers like George Clooney, Ryan Reynolds, and the Kardashians. If the public can sue gun and ammo manufacturers, we should have the same rights to sue alcohol makers and their celebrity pushers.
ReplyDeleteI've had a rather close relationship with alcoholic beverages over the years, but have always maintained a drink responsibly mindset. I am vehemently opposed to drunk driving and support a zero-tolerance enforcement attitude toward those who do.
ReplyDeleteThat said, I don't blame the alcohol or the so-called "pushers" mentioned in the previous comment. I don't blame the car either, which did the actual killing in this case. Nope, someone made the decision to drink and then got behind the wheel and destroyed a life. That person must be held accountable.
There are always alternatives. In Korea, it was easy to get home safely from the bars because of subways, busses, and taxis. Not so much when I moved back to the USA. There, I kept a breathalyzer in my glove box and would always check to make sure I was still "legal" before driving home. I never needed to use one, but there were also services that would tow you and your car home if you were impaired. The point is, there is NEVER an excuse to drive while intoxicated.
