Update On Doris Smith From Fruitland

OK, the rumors stop right here.

Doris Smith was stuck by a truck at the Fruitland Post Office yesterday and was in emergency surgery for 8 hours. Her pelvis was crushed as well as her tail bone. She has a severely crushed leg with no pulse to it and they're not sure if they'll be able to save it.

On top of all of that, her condition is so bad, they cannot transfer her anywhere. The rumor that they transporter her to Johns Hopking Shock Trauma is completely false. She is still at PRMC surviving hour by hour, that's how bad her condition is.

Doris is a very independent woman. She is a member of the Women's Auxiliary at the Fruitland Fire Department and is an upbeat individual that is always on the go and has a reputation of always doing for others first.

Folks, her condition is very serious. Please be careful with what you say here in comments because there are many people following her very closely. This was an accident. Please remember that. Your prayers would be greatly appreciated.

Fruitland is a small town where everyone knows one another. At times this is good and other times when it's not so good. This is one of those times where this is touching many people in this small community. People on both sides of this accident are in lots of pain right now. Watch what is said. Keep this woman in your prayers but also remember that this man never meant for this to happen. Him and his family should also be remembered. As for the age of the driver, it could of happened to anyone. Just remember you never know what will happen when you leave your home. These two people never thought this could of happened when they left their homes yesterday morning.
