ATLANTA - A survivor of the crash that killed four University of Georgia students last year is making significant progress in her recovery.
Agnes Kim has been dealing with devastating injuries since the April 2016 crash that killed four of her friends: Christina Semeria, Halle Scott, Kayla Canedo and Brittany Feldman, WSB-TV reported.
Kim says she has a message for those who have been praying for her recovery:
"I think your prayers are working because I'm now on my way to getting back to my normal," Kim said.
Kim, who was driving at the time, suffered broken bones and a brain injury that put her in a coma. Kim has had at least six surgeries since then. Therapists are now helping her with her movement and speech.
The driver of the other car, Abby Short, was released from a hospital shortly after the crash.
Now, Kim is in outpatient therapy and dreams of going back to college to become a physical therapist.
"I'm still working on my swallowing and my balance, and not blaming myself for the girls who didn't make it in my accident," she said.
In an interview with WSB, Kim said her friends' faces and memories motivate her to recover.
"Being motivated to live for A, God; and B, the girls; and C, my family," she said.
Her long-term goal, she says, is to walk again.
"God put me in this situation to show me how much I am loved," she said.
