The Real Housewives of Potomac star Karen Huger was arrested following an incident where she crashed her Maserati and subsequently refused to undergo a breathalyzer test.

As confirmed by the Montgomery County Police Department to RadarOnline.com — Karen Huger was taken into custody after she totaled her Maserati and then declined to take a breathalyzer test.

The incident occurred on a March 19 in Potomac, Maryland, where Karen, 60, was behind the wheel of her high-value vehicle. According to the police report, she lost control, veered across a median, and collided with multiple street signs and a tree.

Following the crash, Karen was taken into custody and cited for driving under the influence, marking a significant legal issue for the reality TV star. The details regarding the circumstances leading to Karen’s arrest and the subsequent legal actions taken against her, are as follows.

Montgomery County Police Department’s 2nd District officers, along with Fire Rescue teams, were dispatched to the scene at Oaklyn Drive and Beeman Woods Way following reports of a single-vehicle collision involving a 2017 Maserati at approximately 11:50 p.m. on Tuesday, March 19.

Shiera D. Goff, the public information director for the MCPD, detailed the event to the media, stating, “The driver, Karen, was taken into custody and transported to the 2nd District station in Bethesda, where she was arrested and cited for driving under the influence. She was then released.” Further compounding the situation, Goff confirmed Karen’s refusal to undergo a breathalyzer test, a critical factor in her arrest.

Karen Huger has been charged with DUI and seven other traffic citations related to claims of careless and reckless driving, exceeding speed limits, operating a vehicle with a suspended registration, and not reporting her address change to the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration.

Just before the news of her DUI charge became public, Karen commented on the situation. She mentioned that her emotions were heightened due to a recent conversation about her late mother, which occurred during dinner with a friend, leading up to the moment she decided to drive her 2017 Maserati.

“Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes during this very frightening experience. I am still in shock from last nights incident, but grateful to be alive today. With the passing of my Beloved Mother, Grief comes and goes in waves, and with Mothers Day approaching it has felt more like a tsunami,” she told TMZ.

Karen further detailed the events leading up to her arrest, sharing that the incident occurred after an emotionally charged dinner with a friend.

“Last night I met a girlfriend for dinner, we talked and brought up some very emotionally sensitive topics. I was crying on my way home and saw a car heading right for me. I swerved to avoid the head-on collision, hit the divider and then a tree. I’m hurt, bruised up a bit, but so grateful I am alive!”

Karen recounted the terrifying moment that led to her car crash. Despite sustaining injuries and receiving citations, including one unrelated to the crash, Karen expressed relief at being alive, noting the hit-and-run nature of the other vehicle involved.

Karen concluded her statement with reflection on the importance of being mindful of one’s emotional state while driving.

“I would like to stress, it’s important to understand your emotional state when driving and may this be a reminder to all to use their seatbelts, my Mother may be my Guardian Angel but the seatbelt saved my life,” she said, emphasizing safety and the life-saving role of seatbelts in her ordeal.
