UPDATE: Rep. Hal Rogers Improving After Car Crash

UPDATE: Congressman Hal Rogers is improving after he was involved in a car crash last week. Officials said he has been moved to physical rehabilitation after suffering a back injury sustained in the crash. Dr. Brian P. Monahan, Attending Physician for the U.S. Congress, said the Congressman has made satisfactory progress and will continue with on-going physical therapy efforts for his full recovery. Rogers said in a statement he appreciated all of the prayers and well wishes he has received. He said he’ll be wearing a back brace occasionally for a few weeks and continuing physical therapy to regain strength, so he can get back to work as soon as possible. He said in the meantime, he’s having daily calls and in-person meetings with staff to ensure his offices continue serving the great people of Kentucky’s Fifth District.
