Republican congressional candidate Katie Arrington, who defeated Rep. Mark Sanford (R-SC) two weeks ago, is expected to make a full recovery after getting seriously injured in a car crash on Friday.
According to the Post and Courier in South Carolina, Arrington is currently recovering from a second surgery — to address a fracture in her back– at a hospital in Charleston. Arrington’s campaign told the Post and Courier that doctors expect Arrington to begin walking again in a few days and will have no neurological issues.
Arrington was in an accident on Friday evening when a car driving the wrong direction on the highway hit the vehicle she was riding in. The driver of the other vehicle was killed and Arrington’s driver is currently in critical condition.
Arrington came into the national spotlight in recent weeks when Trump gave her a Twitter endorsement, as a means to taunt Sanford, whom he called “unhelpful” and later — in front of a group of his Republican colleagues — he called “nasty,” an attack met with “boos” from lawmakers.
Something is wrong with this headline
Have the conspiracy theory nuts started to speculate on what “really” happened?
I’m guessing somehow it will involve Hillary Clinton or Barrack Obama.
I’m glad she will recover and hope her driver will too but it’s just over 4 months to Nov. and that window seems short to fully recover enough to campaign much less fulfill duties if she wins.
Unless her full name is “Lazarus Arrington” that’s a bad headline, kids…
It’s OK. She might be one of the Undead. “R” is for “resurrection”.
