Aric Hutchinson, whose bride Sam Miller was killed on their wedding night by alleged drunk driver Jamie Lee Komoroski, will receive $1.3 million in compensation

The husband of a newlywed who was killed on their wedding night by a suspected drunk driver has been awarded $1.3 million in a settlement approved this week, reports say.

Aric Hutchinson is reportedly set to receive $863,300 – after legal fees and court costs – from three bars near Charleston, South Carolina, as well as from auto insurance company Progressive and Enterprise Rent-A-Car following the death of his bride Samantha Miller.

Hutchinson sued the companies after Jamie Lee Komoroski, 26, allegedly drove an Enterprise rental car into the golf cart of Miller, 34, and Hutchinson, 36, as they drove away from their beach wedding reception in April 2023.

In a wrongful death lawsuit, Hutchinson accused the bars of serving Komoroski too much beer.

Investigators said Komoroski was driving drunk at 65 mph in a 25 mph zone when her Toyota Camry crashed into the rear of the golf cart.

Komoroski was charged with four serious crimes, including negligent homicide.

She has been released on bail and faces up to 25 years in prison.
