Katie Arrington, who two weeks ago won the Republican 1st Congressional District nomination over Mark Sanford, was in a fatal car accident late Friday, sustaining serious injuries but was alert and talking after surgery early this morning, her spokesman said.

She sustained a fracture in her back and several broken ribs. Other injuries will require major surgery, including the removal of her small intestine.

The main artery in her legs has a partial collapse and will require a stint.   ... Full story at Post and Courier

Terrible. Looks like she's about as close to death as it gets.

[mountaineer]

I wonder if they meant the removal of her entire small intestine? Yikes!

Edit to add something from FOX:

... 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.” ...

Sound serious.  Hope she recovers fully.

I'm sure the rats are giddy with excitement over this news.

Our thoughts and prayers this morning go to Katie Arrington, her family and those involved in last night’s automobile accident.

[skeeter]

It sounds as though she'll recover. I wonder what her prospects are for completing the campaign.

And no details on the fatality.

"Amanda (his wife) and I are lifting her and her family up in prayer right now. Please join us," he said on Twitter.

We are suspending all campaign activities until further notice. https://t.co/yigZupPoLz

Terrible. She seemed like a nice lady.

This accident is bizarre. The other driver was going the wrong direction down the road?

Katie Arrington, who ousted incumbent South Carolina Rep. Mark Sanford in a Republican congressional primary this month, was seriously injured 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 seriously injured.

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.

Hmmmmmm.

Hmmmmmm.

So you are with me right? Sanford's Argentinian whore contracted for this hit gone wrong.

Your instincts were correct, as you discovered upon reading the correct report.

You can't survive indefinitely on IV-only feeding--which feeding approach would be necessary if you don't have at least some part of the small intestine.

On Friday night South Carolina Republican state representative and GOP primary winner Katie Arrington was traveling to Hilton Head Head where she was scheduled to receive an award.

Katie was the passenger in a car traveling southbound on Highway 17, when a vehicle traveling in the wrong direction – northbound in the southbound lanes of Highway 17 – struck the vehicle containing Katie and her friend.

Katie sustained a fracture in her back and several broken ribs, as well as injuries that required Katie to undergo major surgery including the removal of a portion of her small intestine and a portion of her colon.

Katie and her family ask for continued prayers.

Merged two threads.

Merging Threads is a job for a lesser MOD.   Maybe Mod4 thu 8.  But not the great and powerful MOD1.

Just sayin.

Merged two threads.

Discussing merging on a thread involving a multiple vehicle accident is in poor taste. I hope Mod 2 bans you for the appropriate amount of time.

When I took this job, they told me Mod1 was worth eight Mod8s. I'm starting to question it, especially when I look at the paycheck.
