Photos from RHOP OG Karen Huger’s very serious car crash have emerged following the news of her DUI. Get all the details!
TMZ has obtained photos from the aftermath of Karen Huger‘s car crash on Tuesday night in Potomac, Maryland.
The photos show that the RHOP star “swerved off the road…leaving lots of skids and torn-up grass before slamming into a tree [and] taking a big chunk of the bark with her. “
As AllAboutTRH previously reported, the Grand Dame of Potomac was charged with driving under the influence in connection to Tuesday’s car crash. She has also been slapped with numerous traffic violations including “negligent and reckless driving to driving way over the speed limit and driving with a suspended registration.”
On Tuesday night, the RHOP star was aggressively driving her 2017 Maserati in Potomac, Maryland where she and husband, Ray Huger reside.
According to police, Karen “struck a median and crosswalk sign at an intersection before continuing on and colliding with a parking sign off the roadway.”
While Karen is “doing fine after the accident” the same can’t be said for her vehicle which is badly damaged. While talking to TMZ after the crash, Karen Huger chalked the accident up to “driving while in a super emotional state.”
Karen said she went to dinner with a friend where the two engaged in conversation about some emotional topics, including her deceased mother. She says she left the dinner crying as she attempted to drive home. Yet, her journey was interrupted when she swerved to avoid a car coming straight at her.
However, police tell a different story, saying that Karen hit the median and a street sign late Tuesday night and a neighborhood security guard watched it all go down and called the police.
Police responded along with an ambulance but the RHOP star refused to be evaluated or go to the hospital.
Karen was then taken to the police station where she was arrested and cited for DUI. However, she as not booked into the system and was instead released into the custody of her husband, Ray.
The RHOP OG has yet to publicly address the DUI charges.
This isn’t the first Karen has been charged with driving under the influence. Over a decade ago, long before she starred, on RHOP, Karen pled guilty to “Driving While Impaired By Alcohol” and received probation.
