UGA Crash Survivor Is Out of Her Coma

ATHENS, GA -- Agnes Kim, the driver in a crash that killed four University of Georgia students in April, has emerged from her coma, supporters say.

Kim, 21, was transported to the Shepherd Center in Atlanta for brain-injury treatments in mid-May.

"She has now made it two weeks into therapy at Shepherd, and we’ve got some good news— she’s awake!" read a Wednesday post on a page set up for Kim on YouCaring, a crowdfunding site.

The unsigned post says Kim has not yet fully "emerged," in medical terms, but says "we know she is no longer in a coma or unconscious."

"She is not yet fully conscious, but definitely awake and alert," the post reads.

It says Kim will continue undergoing speech therapy, occupational therapy and physical therapy at Shepherd, along with additional activity-based therapies that began this week.

"Please pray for her body and mind to continue healing, for her to regain consciousness, and for her continued strength in order to persevere during this difficult time," the post reads.

UGA students Kayla Canedo, 19, of Alpharetta, Brittany Feldman, 20, of Alpharetta, Christina Semeria, 19, of Milton and Halle Scott, 19, of Dunwoody, all died in the April 27 crash.

The driver of the other vehicle, Abby Short, 27, of Demorest, also was hospitalized.

Kim was hospitalized in critical condition.

The crash happened at about 8:55 p.m. on Highway 15, just outside of Watkinsville, according to the Georgia State Patrol

The patrol said Kim's Camry traveled into the oncoming lane and was hit in the side by Short's Chevrolet Cobalt.

The state patrol has said that neither drugs or alcohol nor speed appears to have been a factor in the wreck.

Last month, Kim received her marketing degree from UGA during graduation ceremonies.
