BREAKING - A federal judge awarded more than $10.5 million to the widower and parents of a Ugandan celebrity and activist decapitated by a traffic control gate in Arches National Park.

The husband of Esther"Essie" Nakajjigo, Ludo Michaud, was awarded $9.5 million, while her mother was awarded $700,000 and her father received $350,000.

The trial focused on how much income Nakajjigo would have earned had she lived and the horror witnessed by her husband, Ludo Michaud, who was in the driver’s seat when his wife died. Its arm pierced the rented Chevy Malibu, decapitating the 25-year-old Nakajjigo in the passenger seat. Nakajjigo was a celebrity and humanitarian in her home country of Uganda. She raised money to build medical clinics for women and teenagers and produced television shows documenting the plight of teenage mothers in Uganda. Nakajjigo was enrolled at a leadership program in Boulder, Colorado, when she met Michaud in 2019.
