Two other individuals were gravely injured in the collision, one of which is in critical condition.

“My son-in-law Benjamin Garrett and grandson Brogan Garrett from Morgan, Utah were escorting the couple from the reception in a golf cart when they were struck from behind by a drunk driver traveling 65 MPH in a 25 MPH zone,” the groom’s mother, Annette wrote. “The golf cart was thrown over 100 yards and rolled several times.”

Bobbi Jo O’Neal, the Charleston County Coroner, reported that the bride Samantha Miller [married name Hutchinson], died at the scene due to the blunt force injuries sustained in the accident.

“A sister, a daughter, a wife, died in her wedding dress because someone made a terrible decision,” Mani Jenkins, the bride’s sister, shared with NBC News.

“From the moment she woke up that day until she left the venue, she told Eric on the golf cart that she wanted this day to last forever. He told us that at the hospital when we saw him,” Jenkins added.

“I was handed Aric’s wedding ring in a plastic bag at the hospital, five hours after Sam placed it on his finger and they read each other their vows,” Annette posted to the GoFundMe page. “Aric has lost the love of his life.”
