Model Severely Injured in Plane Propeller Accident in Texas
This is gruesome: Lauren Scruggs, a model who runs a fashion blog called LOLO, was seriously injured when she WALKED INTO A SPINNING PROPELLER while getting off a plane. She lost a hand and suffered severe injuries to her head, face and shoulder. She may also lose sight in her left eye.
Scruggs, who is only 23, was climbing out of a two-seater plane at a private airport in McKinney, Texas when the accident happened.
She also sustained severe head and shoulder injuries during the accident, according to a post on the website Caring Bridge.
"After exiting a propeller plane, an accident occurred where she walked into the front of the prop. Struck on the left side of her body, Lauren's hand, head, and shoulder area were hit."
An update on the site Monday afternoon said Scruggs was recovering from multiple emergency operations.
"Lauren's surgery went very well this morning. She is now resting in ICU with the family. She is able to open her right eye to see while her left eye is still bandaged. Please continue to pray for the vision of her left eye, as we will not know the status of her sight for some time."
