SEE COLLEGE PAGE A7 ➤ PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT Missionary recovering after being hit by car by Lisa Christensen STAFF WRITER An LDS missionary formerly from Stansbury Park has been hospitalized in a medical- ly induced coma after being hit by a car in Australia. Last Friday, Kendal Levine, 20, had pulled over to the side of a road in Monash, near Canberra, to take a picture of a double rainbow, according to information posted on a Facebook page run by Levine’s family. While standing in the door of the car, 15 feet off the shoulder of the road, another car hit her from behind, according to the page, and the car reportedly almost hit her a second time when backing up after hitting her. Levine was transported to a nearby hospital, where she was placed in a medically induced coma in an effort to assess her injuries and to allow her brain to heal, according to the page. She also had bruising on her lungs, chest and skull, but no broken bones. In the days since the accident, Levine has FRANCIE AUFDEMORTE/TTB PHOTO been breathing on her own and her neck brace Colton Schofield empties golf balls from Oquirrh Hills Golf Course’s driving range into the course’s ball washer yesterday. has been removed.
