Mother’s car accident gives Huntley ‘another chip on my shoulder to play for her’

SALT LAKE CITY — It’s not every day your son is starting his first collegiate game as the team’s quarterback. Unfortunately for Regina Huntley, the mother of newly-named starting quarterback Tyler Huntley, there’s a chance she may be forced to miss out on seeing it in person.

After returning home to Florida from Utah where she had spent the weekend watching her son compete in the University of Utah’s spring football game in April, Huntley was traveling to work the next Monday when she was broadsided by a semitruck, severely injuring her in the crash. Although fortunate to escape with her life, the next four months have been spent recovering from the pain and discomfort associated with the crash.
