Jamie Komoroski has history of traffic violations: report
Jamie Lee Komoroski, the 25-year-old alleged drunk driver who fatally struck a newlywed bride on her wedding night, has a history of traffic violations, according to a report.
Komoroski, currently under suicide watch while locked up at the Charleston County jail in South Carolina over Friday night’s wreck, has a history of speeding dating back to May 2018, according to records obtained by the Daily Mail.
In that first instance, she was cited for traveling less than 10 miles per hour over the speed limit in Horry County, South Carolina, where she attended college at Coastal Carolina University.
She pleaded guilty and paid a $76.50 fine, according to the Daily Mail.
In November 2018, Komoroski pleaded guilty to driving a vehicle at an unreasonable speed given icy road conditions.
She was again charged with speeding less than 10 miles per hour over the speed limit in 2019, and after pleading guilty, paid another $76.50.
And just last month on April 5 she pleaded guilty for failure to use a turn or stop signal and paid a $25 fine.
According to police, Komoroski was driving 65 miles per hour — more than twice the speed limit — when she slammed into the back of a golf cart carrying 34-year-old bride Samantha Hutchinson and groom Aric Hutchinson on Friday night as they were leaving their wedding reception in Folly Beach, South Carolina.
Hutchinson was declared dead at the scene, still wearing her wedding dress. Her husband and two other passengers were hospitalized.
The golf cart was found about 75 yards away from the collision.
Komoroski was uninjured.
Komoroski was charged with three felony DUIs resulting in great bodily injury or death and one count of reckless homicide. She is being held without bail.
According to an affidavit, Komoroski smelled of alcohol and told first responders that she had had just one beer and one tequila shot about an hour before the accident. An officer had to help her stand and refused to take a field sobriety test.
A warrant was issued for two vials of her blood after she refused to provide a breath sample at the station. The blood test results are still pending.
