JEFFERSON COUNTY-By: Leslie Rangel
Sandy Nugent from Nederland was featured on the Oprah show Sunday Night. She's crediting Oprah for helping her find hope after she lost both her daughters to an accident with an intoxicated driver behind the wheel.
Her daughters, Cristen and Katie Grubbs died in 2010 when an intoxicated driver crossed over the center lane of FM 105 in Orange County just north of Vidor. The car the sisters were riding in was struck head on.
