The woman accused of killing a newlywed bride when she drunkenly slammed her car into a golf cart in the Low Country, will not be released from jail before her trial.

A judge denied bond on Tuesday for 25 year old, Jamie Lee Komoroski. Officials say she drove over twice the speed limit into a low-speed vehicle escorting Samantha Miller and Aric Hutchinson away from their wedding reception.

A toxicology report recorded her blood alcohol content over three times the legal level. A trial is scheduled next March for charges of reckless vehicular homicide and three counts of driving under the influence causing death or great bodily injury.

The judge says “this is certainly a very tragic situation for all concerned.” Komoroski was deemed a flight risk by prosecutors and the judge agreed, thus denying her bond.
