Kentucky Congressman Hal Rogers was hospitalized on Wednesday after being involved in a car crash in the D.C. area.

According to a statement from his press team, he is in good condition and doctors are keeping a close eye on him.

“I’m thankful for the first responders and medical team who have thoroughly cared for me. I’m avidly following doctor’s orders, while also working with my staff to ensure serving the people of Southern and Eastern Kentucky remain the first priority,” Congressman Rogers said. “My legislative staff is also working closely with House leadership and the House Appropriations Committee in preparation for upcoming fiscal deadlines.”

University of Kentucky head men's basketball coach John Calipari said on X that they talked and Rogers "sounded great."

Calipari said in the post, "He’s banged up but doing good. Let’s send out those BBN prayers to one of the all-time great Kentucky servants!!"
