HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) — A Hutchinson woman who was critically injured in May while helping another driver at an accident scene near Kansas City is ready to return to her former life.

Lacey Deardoff of Hutchinson spent 50 days in hospitals and weeks of rehabilitation in Hutchinson since she was injured on a freeway in Overland Park. She had stopped to at the accident scene when another driver swerved to avoid debris and hit her and the other driver.

The Hutchinson News reports that Deardoff, the daughter of Hutchinson’s city manager, was unconscious for two weeks before waking up. She returned to Hutchinson in July to continue her rehabilitation.

Deardoff says she plans to move back to the Kansas City area Wednesday and return to work in about a month.
