This second cart was reportedly going at twice the speed limit.
Miller’s cart was flipped over several times, and thrown many yards.
Hutchison suffered broken bones and a brain injury.
Police say 25-year-old Jamie Lee Komoroski was the driver of the other cart.
Andrew Gilreath, public safety director for the Folly Beach area said she was driving at 65mph in a 25mph zone.
The groom’s mother created a Go Fund Me Page.
She’s raised over $30,000 to pay for her daughter-in-law’s funeral and her son’s medical bills.
“Samantha was killed instantly. She was still in her wedding dress,” she wrote.
“Garrett, Brogan and Aric were transferred to a hospital where they are recovering. Aric now has to continue on without the love of his life.”
“Sam Miller was pure love. There isn’t and won’t be another person on this planet that shined the way she did.”
“She was loud. Not with her voice but with her heart. She could make anyone, anywhere smile ear to ear, probably with a vulgar joke.”
“She made the uncomfortable comfortable and brought peace, confidence, and laughter to everyone around her.”
“Love at first sight wasn’t just possible with her, it was a given. Her smile would make you fall in love in an instant.”
“She was the one person everyone knew would never ever give up on them. She was unbelievably special.”
“Samantha was fearless and that’s exactly how she spent the last day of her life. She was so excited to start her life with Aric. She had no nerves or hesitation that day. You could feel the love on the beach.”
“But she was more than just a bride. She was a daughter, a sister, a friend to all, a mother to two cats. She was a beautiful person, inside and out, who just wanted to make the people around her smile.”
“Please donate whatever you can give to our family. We are going through unimaginable pain and need all of the help we can get.”
