South Carolina lawmaker and Republican US House candidate Ms. Katie Arrington, a Trump MAGA favorite, had to undergo further surgery on Sunday.

Her spokesman, Mr. Michael Mule, informed the public that Ms. Arrington underwent two major surgeries: the initial operation was a follow-up to the work done on Ms. Arrington's abdomen, while the second was for a spinal fracture and lasted a gripping six hours.

Mr. Mule added that Ms. Arrington "will have no neurological deficits or limitations moving forward and is expected to be out of bed and walking as early as the next few days."

"Katie may require one more minimal procedure, but that is not certain at this time. It is still expected that Katie will remain in the hospital for the next two weeks and will make a full recovery."

The driver of the other car, who hit them traveling in the wrong direction, 69-year-old Ms. Helen White of Ravenel, South Carolina, died of her wounds shortly after the accident.

Meanwhile many on social media site Reddit argued that a vehicle driving in the wrong direction on a US highway hitting Republican lawmakers seems quite suspicious.

Some of the comments made:

- “Normally I'm highly suspicious of convenient deaths/accidents like this. But this is as much or more danger to the "hitman". Can't see a hitman taking a job where their odds of survivability to actually spend their money are ao low.”

- “The person who hit her was driving the wrong direction on the freeway….that sounds really odd to me.”

- “Apparently deaths from wrong way drivers happen about one time per day in the US.”

- “It feels to me like Kate Arrington's car accident was not a coincidence.”
