Indiana U.S. Rep. Jim Baird is expected to make a full recovery after his vehicle was struck in a car accident that hospitalized him, the Republican's office said Tuesday.
“He is extraordinarily grateful for everyone’s prayers during this time,” Baird's congressional office said in a statement.
The statement did not include further details about the crash. President Donald Trump said Tuesday that the congressman's wife was also hospitalized.
“They’re going to be okay, but they had a pretty bad accident, and we’re praying that they get out of that hospital very quickly,” Trump said while speaking to House GOP members at a retreat at the Kennedy Center. “He’s going to be fine. She’s going to be fine.”
Baird, who represents the 4th Congressional District in west central Indiana, was first elected to congress in 2019. He is 80 years old.
