Katie Arrington, who ousted Rep. Mark Sanford in primary, seriously injured in car crash

[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.

#1 Nothing about the opposing driver.
Was Katie 'Hillaried'?

From Politico:
When Rep. Mark Sanford posted a rambling, 2,000-word announcement of his breakup with María Belén Chapur on his Facebook page last September, we thought we’d seen the last of the nutty antics of those two lovebirds—but hold onto your hats because it appears the couple is giving their union one more go. Chapur was spotted hanging out with Sanford and members of his staff at last week’s annual Congressional Baseball Game at Nationals Park. Seated near the first base line, a casually dressed Sanford, who generously passed out cans of beer to those around him, was accompanied by Chapur, looking tanned in a sleeveless black top. It was the striking Argentinian brunette’s 2009 affair with the then-married governor of South Carolina that gave whole new meaning to the term “hiking the Appalachian Trail.”

#6 You sure it wasn't Joe Cunningham, the democrat opponent or his people that had a hand in this?

I wouldn't put it past them.

We need to know more about the driver who caused the crash.
