INDIANAPOLIS — Republican Rep. Jim Baird of Indiana and his wife were hospitalized following a car accident, former President Donald Trump said in a message to supporters on Monday.
The time, location, and circumstances of the crash have not been disclosed, and officials have not provided details on the couple’s injuries.
Baird represents Indiana’s 4th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives and has served since 2018. His office and local authorities have not released statements or confirmed the incident. Hospital officials cited privacy laws and did not confirm the patients’ identities or conditions.
Law enforcement has not issued a formal report, and no information is available regarding other vehicles, causes, or additional injuries. Public records for Indiana traffic accidents may later provide details.
Baird remains listed as the sitting representative, and there has been no official change to his congressional status. Updates on the couple’s condition are expected once statements are released by medical or official sources.
