Landra Reid, 69, suffered a broken nose, broken back and broken neck, and was listed in serious condition, according to Jon Summers, a Reid spokesman.

"The initial prognosis is that she will not need surgery, but doctors will be keeping an eye on her," Summers said in an e-mail. Earlier, Summers had said she was conscious and could feel her extremities.

Barringer, 48, had a neck injury and facial lacerations. She was expected to be released from the hospital Thursday night, Summers said.
