The drunk driver who killed a newlywed bride and severely injured the groom just hours after their wedding was dressed as a Bud Light bottle at a Halloween party.
Jamie Lee Komoroski, 25, posted a photo of herself in 2018 while dressed as “Bud Lightyear” — a play on the classic “Toy Story” character — in tight shorts, crop top and Bud Light boxes wrapped around her legs and ankles.
“To infinity and beerond,” the caption reads, in reference to Buzz Lightyear’s catchphrase, “To infinity and beyond.”
The post is one of several on Komoroski’s Instagram that make references to alcohol, including her latest post just one week ago where she is pictured on the beach in a bikini with the caption: “Did somebody say tequila?”
Komoroski was behind the wheel of a Toyota rental car on Friday night when she plowed into the back of a golf cart carrying newlyweds Samantha Hutchinson and her husband, Aric, from their Folly Beach, South Carolina wedding reception.
Hutchinson, 34, of North Carolina, was declared dead at the scene.
Her husband and another passenger remain in the hospital with severe injuries.
