Local Veteran recovering after being hit by vehicle
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - A local Veteran is recovering after being struck by a car.
Retired Army service member Karla Roche was struck by a vehicle last month at the Quechan Casino.
Roche suffered multiple broken bones, damage to her teeth, and received stitches to her face and mouth.
The 58-year-old Veteran is now recovering but still in need of surgery.
She says once fully healed, she plans to return to her passion which is connecting fellow Veterans with service animals.
Roche, who has two service K-9's of her own, is also a certified dog trainer.
She has set up a GoFundMe to help pay for some medical bills. To donate to the GoFundMe, click here.
