State fair victim emerges from coma

A woman badly injured in the Indiana State Fair stage collapse is communicating with family and friends after waking up from a month-long coma. They say 30-year-old Andrea Vellinga of Pendleton began gradually waking up last week from the coma she had been in since suffering severe head injuries in the Aug. 13 collapse. Vellinga communicates with a dry-erase board because of a tracheotomy. She's been at an Indianapolis rehabilitation center for the past couple of weeks. The stage collapse killed seven people and injured dozens of others.
