|
[FOXNEWS] Katie Arrington, who ousted incumbent South Carolina Rep. Mark Sanford in a Republican congressional primary this month, was maimed in a car accident on Friday -- in a wreck that left one person dead.
In a statement posted to Facebook, her campaign said that she underwent surgery after she was injured when a driver traveling in the wrong direction hit her vehicle. A friend who was also in the car was maimed.
The Post and Courier reported that the driver in the other vehicle died at the scene.
Her office said that she suffered a fracture in her back, several broken ribs and other injuries that required surgery including the removal of part of her small intestine and a portion of her colon.
"Additionally, the main artery in her legs has a partial collapse and will require a stent," the statement said. "Additional surgeries will be required including one likely today; and it is likely that Katie will remain hospitalized for the next two weeks."
"As her family asked last night, Katie asks for your continued prayers for the dear departed and the dear departed's family, as well as prayers for a quick recovery for Katie and her friend."
Arrington's Democratic rival, Joe Cunningham, said that he was suspending his campaign until futher notice. President Trump tweeted that he was sending his thoughts and prayers to all those involved in the accident and their families.
