Samantha Miller, a newlywed bride, was murdered by a drunk motorist who slammed into the newlyweds’ golf cart on a South Carolina beach, authorities said on Monday.
According to the Charleston County coroner’s office, the 34-year-old, who had just gotten married hours before, perished in the collision, which injured three others in the golf cart, including the groom, who is in critical condition in the hospital.
According to The Guardian, the groom’s mother has set up a GoFundMe campaign to pay for her daughter-in-law’s funeral and her son’s medical bills.
It featured a photo of the newlyweds sprinting through sparklers moments before the crash, which caused the golf cart to roll over numerous times.

Data retrieved from the suspect, Jamie Lee Komoroski’s rental car indicated she was driving 65 mph (105 km/h), and only briefly hit the brakes before she struck the golf cart around 10 pm Friday on Folly Beach, investigators said.
Gilreath said the golf cart had lights and was legal to drive at night.
The speed limit on the island near Charleston is 25 mph (40 km/h).
Komoroski, 25, was charged with reckless vehicular homicide and three counts of driving under the influence causing death. She faces up to 25 years in prison on each count.
The suspect remained in the Charleston County jail on Monday afternoon and records did not indicate if she had a lawyer.
