Wynonna Judd on Husband's Accident: 'It's Made Our Relationship Almost Bulletproof'
Country singer Wynonna Judd opened up about the motorcycle wreck that nearly took her husband's life. She said the accident has made her and husband Michael "Cactus" Moser's marriage "bulletproof."
"It made us so strong that I dare anyone to try and come between us," Judd told Entertainment Tonight. "We are almost bulletproof at this point," she said before going on to explain what happened that fateful day in August 2012.
"Wind in the hair, he's 10 feet in front of me and it went from that to the sound like a tornado that you never forget. I will never forget that smell nor that sound coming from two vehicles colliding, and me going on past him thinking, 'Is he alive or dead? I have no idea,'" Judd said.

The couple had only married in June before the accident, though they had been friends for some time before getting together. Moser lost his leg in the accident and was cited for not having a license to operate a motorcycle and driving on the wrong side of the road.
"I got on my belly and looked right in his eyes 'cause I knew if he closed his eyes that he would bleed out and that was it," Jud explained. I was 10 feet behind him when the accident happened and I saw the leg shatter and go all over the road."
Moser was airlifted from the scene of the accident, his leg left on the highway. Judd knew her husband was in for some serious rehabilitation and was determined to stay by his side no matter what happened.
"I became his nurse … my glasses at the end of my nose, pushing saline up into the gaping wounds and wrapping them. The bottom line is it makes [you] or breaks you. You realize that you're bonded in a life. When I said I do, I never dreamed I would go through as much as I did as soon as I did," Judd said.
