Another competency hearing for Hudson was held on November 7, 2024, at which the court found Hudson competent to proceed.

A sentencing hearing was held on November 12, 2024, where Hudson pleaded no contest to second-degree recklessly endangering safety.

The Irvine Park truck was unoccupied at the time.

The complaint states that the driver was identified as Ebony Hudson based on her Tennessee driver's license.
