Media reported that the couple, Samantha Hutchinson, 34, and Eric Hutchinson, 36, celebrated their wedding on the beach in South Carolina last Friday.
She added that after leaving the party, the golf cart they were traveling in collided with a four-wheel-drive car, whose driver was believed to be drunk and driving at breakneck speed.
According to eyewitnesses, the golf cart “tipped over multiple times”, killing the bride, who succumbed to her injuries.
Arik’s mother said: “Sam died from his injuries and Arik is in serious condition as he has had two operations so far. His bones have been broken and he has suffered a brain injury. He will recover after a long time.”
And she continued, “I received my son’s wedding ring at the hospital just 5 hours after he put it on his finger. He showed you the love of his life.”
Relatives of both victims have expressed grief over what happened to Eric and Samantha. In this regard, a man named Michael said and posted a photo of the newlyweds on his Facebook account: He is “sad” for the accident that “tragically ended the life of the beautiful bride, Samantha, a few minutes after she left her wedding.”
