Katie Arrington, who pulled off a surprise ouster of South Carolina Rep. Mark Sanford in a Republican congressional primary this month, underwent surgery on June 24 after a head-on car crash on the night of June 22 that killed one driver.
The 47-year-old state representative fractured her back and broke several ribs in the crash, and required a major surgery that included the removal of a portion of her small intestine and colon. The driver of the other vehicle died.
