“Thank you everyone for your prayers and well wishes during this very scary experience. I'm still in shock from last night's incident, but grateful to be alive today. With the passing of my beloved mother, grief comes and goes in waves, and as Mother's Day approaches, it feels more like a tsunami,” Huger TMZ in a March press release. “Last night I met a girlfriend for dinner and we talked and covered some very emotionally sensitive topics. I was crying when I got home and saw a car heading straight towards me. I swerved to avoid the head-on collision, hit the partition then a tree. I'm hurt, a little bruised, but so grateful to be alive! I received tickets, including one unrelated to the incident, which is understandable, but the most surprising thing is that the car that almost hit me drove away!

She concluded: “I would like to emphasize that it is important to understand your emotional state when driving and that this can remind everyone to use their seat belt. My mother may be my guardian angel but the seat belt saved my life.”

Huger is scheduled to be sentenced on January 29, 2025.
