AUBURN, Ala. (AP) - A visiting scholar at Auburn University remains hospitalized more than a week after she was hit by a student as she crossed the street.

A person who answered the phone at Columbus Regional Medical Center Saturday said 35-year-old Shou Ju Chen was still in critical condition.

Chen was airlifted to the hospital on Nov. 6 after she was hit by a Toyota 4-Runner driven by 20-year-old Thomas R. Latham. The pre-business major was charged with DUI and arrested at the scene.

Auburn Police Division Capt. Tom Stofer told the Opelika-Auburn News the investigation is ongoing and declined to comment on the case. He said the department will present its findings to the district attorney's office when the investigation is finished.
