The only survivor of a fatal car crash that killed four University of Georgia sorority girls has been released from hospital six months after the horrific accident.

She will continue her daily rehabilitation at Shepherd Pathways in Decatur in her long road to recovery following the wreck that killed her classmates in April.

'Ms. Kim's family is grateful for the outpouring of support from the community,' the Shepherd Center told the AJC in an emailed statement.

'However, they continue to request privacy.'

Kim was critically injured in the crash along Georgia State Route 15 on April 27 after her white Toyota Camry drifted into another lane and hit another car.

Her friends and fellow students Kayla Canedo, 19; Brittany Feldman, 20; Christina Semeria, 19; and Halle Scott, 19, were all killed.

Kim was left in a coma and woke up more than a month later.

She was awarded her marketing degree by the university at spring graduation ceremonies two days after coming out of her coma, according to the AJC.

Since May 12, she has been recovering from her traumatic injuries at the Shepherd Center and only recently started talking.

Last month, she released a short video from her hospital bed in Atlanta to thank her supporters following the wreck.

In the footage posted on a YouCaring page, she smiled as she told people she is getting better.

She said:  'Hello, my name is Agnes. Thank you for praying for me. I am getting better. Thank you. I love you all.'

Her friends, who set up the page to help cover her medical bills, then gave an update on her progress.

They said she had started walking, noting it was a 'huge step' in her recovery.

'It has been truly humbling to see how many prayers and how much support has been flooding the Kims' way, and we're amazed to see how the Lord has been faithful in hearing our petitions,' they wrote.

Kim and her friends had been heading north in her Camry when it veered into the southbound lanes and was struck on the passenger side by a blue Chevrolet Cobalt, a Georgia State Patrol said in a preliminary report.

It is not known why the Camry drifted into the other lane, however, the State Patrol said troopers do not suspect that alcohol played a role in the crash. 

The crash occurred near the Hot Thomas Barbeque restaurant, just outside Watkinsville, 11Alive reported at the time.

The driver of the other vehicle, Abby Short, 27, of Demorest, Georgia, an EMT for Athens, was taken to a hospital but released a short time later.

At the time of the crash, Short was on the Bluetooth in the car with her mom, her fiance told the student-produced newscast, Grady Newsource.

The heartbreaking 911 call she made moments after the two-car accident was released in April.

'The car swerved in front of me and I couldn't stop,' she can be heard telling the 911 dispatcher. 'I'm just hurting a lot. I'm sorry.'

In the call, Short, who was leaving her job at National EMS in Athens when the accident happened, sounded frantic and shaken up as she speaks with the 911 dispatcher.

'I've been in an accident,' Short can be heard saying at the beginning of the call. 'I'm on 15, I don't know where I am.'

The 911 dispatcher asks her if she sees anything around her or a business, to which Short replies no and that she just got on the highway.

'Where am I at? I'm on 15. I'm in a lot of pain ma'am. I'm sorry,' Short tells the dispatcher frantically.

Now that Kim has been released from the Shepherd Center, she will continue her daily rehabilitation at Shepherd Pathways in Decatur

The dispatcher tells her that she is going to send an ambulance, but she needs a location.

Short tells her that another car pulled in front of her and her ankle and 'belly' hurts.

The dispatcher realizes that she knows Short personally and tries to reassure her to stay calm and still throughout the nearly seven minute recording until the call ends as help arrived.

Both cars were travelling at a high speed but no drugs or alcohol were found in either vehicle, he told CBS46.

No charges have been filed in the crash, according to the AJC.
