COVINGTON, KY - An elderly Kentucky woman was sent to the hospital in critical condition Wednesday morning after being burned. Fire crews arrived at an apartment complex in Covington to find the victim in her wheelchair on fire. They used a fire extinguisher to put out the flames, but not before the woman received serious burns. She was transported to the University Hospital. The complex manager also suffered severe burns to his hands when he tried to put out the fire. Investigators believed the woman may have been trying to light a cigarette when the fire started.
