Why were they driving on a main road in the dark , on a golf cart? That is dangerous. Drunk driver or not, that is not safe
that is just brutal…..that takes "none of us are guaranteed tomorrow" to a frightening level…..prayers for her family…..
This is another devastating senseless death all due to drinking and driving! Our condolences go out to the family of the victim. And for the ones who were injured I hope your recovery is soon. People use all different kinds of excuses for driving drunk. Their loved one died and sadness took over them. Someone in their family has a was diagnosed with an illness. They got divorced or broke up with their girlfriend etc. A bunch of excesses that go on and make no sense. I say go get help, try therapy and get medication to help you with what you are feeling. Stay super busy I did when my loved one passed away. Try to make them proud of you even in death. My family member died of natural causes at a certain age which is considered to be young. I never drank or put others in harm way. I have a family whom I'm responsible for and rely on me as do I.
Such an awful and avoidable horrific incident. This family and her friends won’t ever feel the same again, but I do hope they can mourn in peace and feel okay knowing her last day was spent around caring and loving
friends and family. Sending well wishes and prayers to all those affected. Be strong!
I just dont agree with Golf Carts being street legal… but so many beach towns have street-legal if carts can go over 20 mph. But they were leaving after 11pm in the Dark. YES this was a Drunk driver doing 65mph in a 25mph…… But Golf carts being street legal is another issue.
My wife and I send our sincerest condolences to the husband, family, and friends of Samantha.
May Samantha rest in everlasting peace ✝️.
😢😢
I hope the news anchors w the broken hearts can get thru this 😢
Ban alcohol, do you know how many people have been killed in DUI crash, here’s the statistics in America, about 32 people in America have been killed by drunk driving crashes, right?? that’s every person on a daily basis, why is there no outrage with alcohol and why is there no outrage with these deaths, they are massive, the USA has the worst DUI laws, sending my condolences
eurasian is not a good mix
I'm not surprised that the drunk driver is called Jamie lee komorowski and is eurasian.
Why were they driving a golf cart on the street? Did it have lights, was it street legal, and was it registered? Unfortunately, they might have been alive if they were in a road worthy car.
Wow, this is something that you see in movies ..this makes me so sad…praying for their families and aric..
That is really terrible. Don't drink and drive
Oh it's a girl DUI, let's see…she'll get 2 years tops in jail with rent and food paid by taxpayers. Because equality only works one way as we all know.
Ridiculous amount of money raised to bury her. They need to donate that money. People, stop giving money to strangers! More than half a million raised so far is ridiculous. All of their family and friends at the wedding would have gathered more than enough donations. Ridiculous!
Not to take up for drunk driver, but what was the Golf card doing on that busy road. Did the Golf cart have it's lights on, bride and groom had been drinking also all night, how were they operating the Golf cart.
No, man!!!
In a way that day WILL last FOREVER jeeze… don't think that's what she meant
Absolutely heartbreaking 💔 😞 🙏🏼 prayers of comfort
I hate drunk drivers with every fiber of my being. This only fuels my hatred.
What people can drive golf carts on the street? I’m not saying anything negative I’m just asking when did this become legal? I know you can drive them on the island of Avalon.
Marijuana still illegal
Drunk driver can’t make good decisions. Our Clubs / Bars serve until closing time then people go to their cars. Seems like a terrible norm we have.
So sorry this happened.. But the "terrible decision" was driving at night in a golf cart… Yea the girl definable should not have been driving but if they had not been driving on a dark road in a gold cart that probably had NO LIGHTS and definitely no protection she would probably still be alive
True act of tragedy and selfishness 😢
You know because shes a woman she’ll be right out of jail in abt 10 years and back on the streets getting wasted in her car again🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
This is horrible for all involved! So sad!
