Officials say two international students at John Brown University were hurt when they were struck by oncoming traffic while trying to walk across a highway in Siloam Springs.
The school says the accident happened Jan. 20 when Dahye "Sarah" Kim and Eunbit "Gina" Oh were trying to cross U.S. 412. Kim was flown to a hospital in Tulsa where she is in critical condition. The university says she underwent surgery to alleviate brain swelling and was placed in a medically induced coma.
Oh was hospitalized in Springfield, Mo., with a broken pelvis. The school says she will not require surgery.
The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports (http://is.gd/vdjH9R ) that both students are from Seoul, South Korea. Kim is a junior studying business administration and Oh is a sophomore majoring in early childhood education.
