Following a crash that resulted in the death of new bride Samantha Hutchinson on her wedding night, the alleged drunk driver complained about her fate while in a US jail two days after the incident.

The 25-year-old is accused of causing the death of Hutchinson, 34, when she crashed into the golf cart the newlywed was riding in after her beach wedding reception last month.

Recordings of conversations with her parents and friends in jail showed the suspect, Jamie Lee Komoroski, questioning why “this happened to me” and expressing feelings of being a terrible person.

She was distraught during a call with her parents.

She was reported saying, “I can’t believe this is my life and my whole life is going to be over. Oh my God. I just can’t believe this happened to me. Why me? I’m going to be here for years and years and years and years.”

When her father urged her to be strong, she responded, “I can’t. I want it to be over.”

Komoroski is facing charges related to the crash, including felony DUI resulting in great bodily injury or death and reckless homicide.

She is accused of hitting her rented Toyota Camry into the slow-moving golf cart carrying Samantha’s new husband, Aric Hutchinson, and two other passengers.

It was reported that Komoroski smelled of alcohol and was driving about 40 mph over the 25-mph speed limit before colliding with the golf cart.

Aric Hutchinson, the injured groom, has filed a civil lawsuit against her and the bars that allegedly over-served her.

Following the crash, Komoroski arrived at the county jail appearing intoxicated and even displayed unusual behavior when denied the use of a phone.

She expressed remorse and regret in conversations with her parents and friends.

She later expressed hope that the judge understands her remorse and that she is not a bad person.
