(In case y'all missed this.)
'Katie Arrington, a South Carolina state lawmaker who this month defeated Representative Mark Sanford in a House Republican primary, was seriously injured in a car crash on Friday night, according to her spokesman.
Ms. Arrington and a friend were traveling to Hilton Head, where Ms. Arrington was scheduled to receive an award from a state medical organization on Saturday morning, the spokesman, Michael Mule, said on the lawmaker’s social media accounts.
“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,” a Facebook post said. “Additionally, the main artery in her legs has a partial collapse and will require a stent.”
Ms. Arrington was “awake and alert,” Mr. Mule said by phone on Saturday. She was expected to have two more operations over the next couple of days, he said, adding, “She’s as tough as they come.”'>>>
