Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abby Broyles was struck in her car during a hit-and-run accident Sunday night in Oklahoma City.
Broyles, who is challenging Sen. Jim Inhofe in November, proceeded to drive through an intersection after the light had turned green and was t-boned by a driver who fled the scene, according to the police report.
Charity Head, deputy communications director for Broyles’ Senate campaign, says Broyles was driving home from a dinner when the accident occurred. According to Head, a doctor has put Broyles under concussion protocols after seeking medical attention Monday morning.
Say a prayer for Abby tonight. A couple of hours ago, she was struck in a hit and run accident. She is at home resting but obviously a bit shaken up. Police are searching for the vehicle that struck her. We know she’ll be okay- She’s strong and a fighter. pic.twitter.com/OYJjiuYQud

“She’s ready to get back on the campaign trail though we’re holding her back a little bit because we want to make sure that she’s safe,” Head said.
Oklahoma City Police are investigating the accident.
