Golf cart accidents send around 10,000 people to the ER in the US every single year.

In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss two cases where women were killed in golf cart accidents right after they were married.

Samantha Miller and Aric Hutchinson held their wedding in April 2023, after months of planning. Sam looked radiant in her beautiful white dress and as she left the reception with her new husband, she told him that she never wanted the night to end. Minutes later, Jamie Lee Komoroski (25) crashed into the golf cart that was carrying the couple to their accommodation. The crash happened at 65mph in a 25mph zone. Samantha was killed instantly and Aric required many surgeries. Jamie Lee’s blood alcohol level was 0.261.

Marina and Robbie Morgan were married in Sydney, Australia in 2022. They had previously postponed their wedding due to the pandemic. The couple held a lavish ceremony and jetted off to the beautiful Hamilton Island for their honeymoon. Golf carts are the primary mode of transport on the island. Just days into their honeymoon, Robbie noticed that the battery on their cart was low and he attempted to make a u-turn to return to charge the vehicle. The cart flipped on top of Marina, killing her at the scene. Robbie is facing charges in relation to his new wife’s death.

There has been a big update in the case of the Australian Mushroom Deaths, which we covered on a previous episode. Erin Patterson has been arrested and charged with both murder and attempted murder. We run through the latest in this episode.
