We’ve received a medical update on 43-year old Candel Roberts Cloudy of Center, who was involved in a fatal automobile accident in Nacogdoches last Saturday morning and flown to ETMC in Tyler with injuries.

According to a Facebook post from her daughter, Ms. Cloudy has been taken off a ventilator and she’s breathing on her own after heart surgery.

She’s reported to be awake and talking.

The post said doctors are waiting for swelling to go down before they proceed with any ortho surgeries. It’s reported she will be able to walk again with physical therapy.

The Cloudy family is asking for continued prayers and understanding for not only their loved one, but the Hernandez family in Nacogdoches.

The head-on collision took the life of 32-year old Felipe Medina Hernandez and injured his two young sons.

Ms. Cloudy was reported to be enroute in a van belonging to Abundant Love Ministries to pick up children from church camp when the accident occurred on SE Loop 224 in Nacogdoches.
