Politician who was intentionally hit by car loses both her legs

Australian lawmaker Helen Haines has had both legs amputated after being hit by a car , her husband said on Wednesday, hailing her as a "fighter" despite critical injuries sustained in what police described as a targeted attack.
Haines, 65, is now in a stable condition at a Melbourne hospital days after being struck by a car on Monday near her office in the town of Wangaratta, which is just over 200 kilometers, or 120 miles, northeast of the Victoria state capital.
