Groom critically injured in crash that killed bride hours after wedding out of hospital: Wednesday, May 10

A South Carolina man who was critically injured in a deadly crash caused by a suspected drunk driver is out of the hospital, family members said.

Aric Hutchinson and his new wife, Samantha, were leaving their wedding reception in Folly Beach when their golf cart was hit by a suspected drunk driver. Samantha Hutchinson died from her injuries, while Aric suffered two broken legs, multiple broken bones in his face and brain injuries. Two other people on the cart were injured in the crash.

Annette Hutchinson, Aric's mother, posted an update on GoFundMe that said Aric was released from the hospital while he continues his recovery. More than $690,000 has been raised for the family so far.

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools board meeting Tuesday saw tension rise as over 40 speakers expressed their concerns on a variety of topics, from book bans to student redistricting.

CMS School Board Member Jennifer De La Jara, an at-large member of the board since 2019, also announced that she would not be running for re-election.

She alluded to supporting a candidate who represents a new voice of the community in her farewell address.

“I would never suggest that anyone vote just on identity politics,” De La Jara said. “It is time that we make history. I will be supporting a strong Latina candidate who is a qualified thought leader and has a deep passion for advancing student outcomes and just happens to be bilingual and bicultural.”
