CHATHAM, Ill. (WAND) - A National Guard member who police said was hit by a vehicle at a festival is out of intensive care.

At about 11 p.m. on July 20, authorities found 38-year-old Staff. Sgt. Katy Dean unconscious behind a stage at the Chatham Sweetcorn Festival. She went to a hospital in critical condition.

According to a GoFundMe page for Dean, she was on a ventilator after it happened and suffered a number of injuries, including eight broken ribs, two neck fractures, and a broken scapula and collar bone. She needed a hip replacement after it was discovered she had a shattered pelvis on the right side of her hip.
