COLUMBIA, S.C.—An alleged drunken driver who police say slammed into newlyweds on their wedding day, killing the bride, is now facing a wrongful death lawsuit, as are several establishments accused of over-serving the driver on the night of the crash.

Four bars gave “copious amounts of alcohol” to a “visibly intoxicated” woman, identified as Jamie Lee Komoroski, last month before she drove 40 miles over the speed limit into a golf cart carrying the couple away from their wedding reception, according to a new lawsuit filed May 17.
