Sen. Seliger injured in motorcycle accident but injuries are not life threatening

Seliger is expected to be back in the Senate no later than next week

Sen. Kel Seliger, R-Amarillo, was injured in a motorcycle accident Sunday evening and was taken to Brackenridge with injuries to his ankles and elbows.

Fortunately, the injuries were not life threatening. He is in a private room rather than ICU.

We are told that doctors plan to discharge Sen. Seliger in the next day or two. He’s expected to move fairly slowly for the rest of the week and be back at full Senate duties no later than next week.
