Kylie Benson accident update: Kylie Benson still in critical stage

Kylie Benson accident update: Beloved 16 year old Kylie Benson is still in a critical stage after she survived being ran over by a semi, and got herself out of a burning car and walked over 200 yards before collapsing.

She is in a medically induced coma in a Texas hospital with 60% plus 3rd degree burns on her body as well as other injuries.

Kylie Benson has 3rd degree burns from the top of her head to her knees, fractured ribs and spine with a vent tube for her collapsed lung. She is on a respirator to help her breathe so she can not talk.

Her face is severely burned that she can not open her eyes. Both of her arms and hands were deeply burned that her loved ones are concerned with not only infection but the skin restricting blood flow which would lead to loss of her limbs or digits.

The doctors expect it will be a long road to recovery with a minimum 6 month hospital stay. Kylie has no medical insurance of any kind so any donation will be greatly appreciated. A GoFundMe page has been launched to help raise funds for her medical treatment.

Hospital stays are extremely expensive. Kylie’s mother Alicia Manning, (a lifelong resident of McCurtain County, the daughter of retired Highway Patrol Gordon Manning & current McCurtain County Sheriff Deputy herself) will have to be off work in order to be at the hospital.

In addition to Go Fund Me, an account has been set up at First State Bank in Valliant, Oklahoma for donations. Please be on the lookout for upcoming fundraisers to benefit Kylie and her Family.
