Long prison sentences for killing by car

I'm starting this thread as a place to post cases in which a driver received a lengthy sentence for killing someone.

First up:  In SC in 2024, Jamie Lee Komoroski was sentenced to 25 years for killing a bride and seriously injuring the groom as they left their wedding in a golf cart.  Komoroski was drunk more than three time the legal limit, and was going 65mph in a 25 mph zone.

Whether the sentence is long or short, it seems appropriate to revoke driving privileges.
