Huger told the web, which broke the news of the event, that she and a companion had discussed “very psychologically sensitive matters” during a meal before the accident. She claimed that she was crying after returning from supper when she noticed another car “heading straight for me” and swerved to avoid a motion. According to Huber, she “hit the vehicle and then a branch.” The man in the other vehicle drove away, she alleged in her speech.

” If it were n’t for my mama waking me up every morning asking me what did I want to be today and telling me that I could be anything”, Huger said,” I would n’t be living this life”.
