On Friday, the groom from South Carolina who tragically lost his newlywed wife in a DUI crash just hours after their wedding, recounted the moment he first learned of her passing. He also shared his heartbreaking last memory of their special day.
Aric Hutchinson, with tears streaming down his face and his voice cracking with emotion, spoke to ABC’s “Good Morning America” about the collision on April 28 that drastically changed his life.
The individual recalls waking up. According to ABC correspondent Eva Pilgrim, Hutchinson described the weather as “kind of foggy, out of sorts.” According to the witness, they were able to observe the mother’s facial expression, which conveyed a sense of distress.
The reporter inquired, “Where is Sam?” Where is Sam? According to the speaker, they were informed by someone that there had been an incident and that Sam did not survive.
In a recent incident, Aric (36) and Samantha (34) were reportedly riding in a golf cart with their family members after their wedding reception at Folley Beach. According to sources, a Toyota Camry allegedly rear-ended their slow-moving vehicle, while reportedly driving 40 mph above the speed limit.
A golf cart was sent flying 100 yards and rolled over several times due to the impact.
According to reports, the groom has been hospitalized with a brain injury and multiple broken bones throughout his face and body.
In a wedding ceremony that was filled with warmth and love, a 34-year-old woman exchanged vows with her husband, Aric, on Friday. However, the occasion was marred by a tragic ending.

According to the Folly Beach police, a 25-year-old named Komoroski reportedly crashed into the Hutchinsons’ golf cart while driving at approximately 65 miles per hour.
According to reports, the driver emitted an odor of alcohol, yet declined to undergo a sobriety test.
The defendant has been charged with three counts of felony DUI causing great bodily injury or death, as well as one count of reckless homicide.
According to WCIV, Komoroski reportedly rated herself an 8 on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 representing complete sobriety, when asked about her level of intoxication.
Komoroski was placed under suicide watch after expressing to an officer her desire to die.
According to Hutchinson, he cannot recall the moment of impact, despite his desire to do so.
