“Thank you everyone for your prayers and well wishes during this very frightening experience,” she said.
“I’m still in shock from last night’s incident, but grateful to be alive today. With the passing of my Beloved Mother, the grief comes and goes in waves, and as Mother’s Day approaches, it feels more like a tsunami.
Huger – whose parents died within seven months of each other in 2017 – continued on Wednesday
“Last night I met a girlfriend for dinner, we talked and raised some very emotionally delicate topics. I was crying on the way home and I saw a car coming straight towards me.
“I swerved to avoid the head-on collision, hit the divider and then a tree.
“I’m hurt, a little bruised, but so grateful to be alive! I received citations, one of which was unrelated to the incident, which is understandable, but the most surprising thing is that the car that almost hit me simply drove away!

She then credited her mother, who she called her “Guardian Angel,” along with her seat belt, for saving her life.
