AceShowbiz - In a shocking incident, Karen Huger, star of "The Real Housewives of Potomac", was involved in a serious car crash that left her Maserati engulfed in flames. According to an incident report obtained by RadarOnline.com, firefighters had to use an extinguisher to control a fire that ignited under her luxury vehicle.

The crash occurred when Huger lost control of her 2017 Maserati, crossed a median, struck traffic signs, and collided with a tree. Police and fire crews responded to the scene, where they found Huger still inside the burning car. Emergency personnel assisted her out of the vehicle and extinguished the fire.

The incident report reveals that Huger refused a breathalyzer test and was later arrested for driving under the influence (DUI). Her driver's license was subsequently suspended. Local residents expressed concern that the crash could have had more severe consequences if it had occurred earlier in the evening when pedestrians were present.

Huger released a statement following the incident, claiming she was overcome with emotion after having dinner with a girlfriend and discussing sensitive topics.

She admitted to crying while driving home and swerving to avoid a potential head-on collision, which caused her to hit the median and tree. While expressing gratitude for surviving the crash, Huger also acknowledged receiving citations, one of which was unrelated to the incident.

She emphasized the importance of being aware of one's emotional state when driving and urged others to wear their seatbelts. "My Mother may be my Guardian Angel, but the seatbelt saved my life," she concluded.

Huger's court date has been scheduled for a later date.
