'Can I Just Go Home?': Drunk Woman Driver Who Killed Bride On Wedding Night Seen Whining After Arrest - VIDEO

US: Newly released footage from a US police station shows the behaviour of a woman, Jamie Lee Komoroski, after she was arrested for a drunken crash that killed a bride on her wedding night in South Carolina in 2023.

Komoroski, now 27, had been drinking at several bars in Folly Beach before getting behind the wheel of a rented Toyota Camry on April 28, 2023. She was allegedly driving at around 65 mph in a 25 mph zone when she crashed into a golf cart carrying newlyweds Samantha and Aric Hutchinson and two wedding guests as they were leaving their reception.

The crash killed 34-year-old Samantha Hutchinson and left her husband, Aric, then 36, seriously injured along with the other passengers. Komoroski was reportedly found to have a blood alcohol level around three times the legal limit.

The viral video footage from the Folly Beach police station shows Komoroski handcuffed and sitting in a chair shortly after the crash. Instead of appearing to acknowledge the consequences of the incident, she can be heard repeatedly asking officers to let her go home and contact her father. "I just wanna like, get this over with and go home," she said while crying.

When an officer told her that she could not make a phone call at that point, Komoroski questioned why she was being detained and appeared to deny responsibility for the crash. "Well, what did I do?" she asked, before insisting that authorities had not proved that she had done anything wrong.

She then addressed a camera inside the police station, complaining that officers were preventing her from contacting her father. At one point, she appeared to mock her own behaviour, saying, "Ooh, I'm being just a little baby." Komoroski had also reportedly told officers at the scene that she had 'didn't do anything wrong' as she was taken into custody.

The fatal crash occurred as Samantha and Aric were leaving their beachside wedding reception in a golf cart. Aric later suffered serious injuries, while the newlywed couple's wedding night ended in tragedy. Komoroski eventually pleaded guilty to felony DUI, two counts of DUI causing great bodily injury or death and reckless homicide. She was sentenced to 25 years in prison for the crash.
