The fines associated with these charges range from $50 to $510, and Karen Huger will be required to make court appearances for each. TMZ initially reported the DUI charges, revealing that Huger claimed she had been returning home from dinner with a friend and engaging in serious conversation before the accident. She reportedly admitted to crying while driving and stated that her emotions were heightened when another vehicle approached, leading her to swerve and lose control.
While it appears that Karen Huger was not arrested at the scene, her representative has yet to respond to requests for comment on the citations.
The incident resulted in the total loss of Huger’s 2017 Maserati after she collided with a median, a crosswalk sign, and finally a parking sign. According to a spokesperson from the Maryland Montgomery County Police Department, Huger was driving aggressively prior to the crash.
