State Sen. April Weaver (R-Brierfield) was transported by ambulance to Shelby Baptist Medical Center on Friday night after being struck by a car while in a pedestrian crosswalk at an Alabaster grocery store.
X-ray scans and physicians’ assessments indicated no major injuries, but significant bruising and contusions did result, according to Weaver.
“My guardian angel was obviously on my shoulder and protecting me from what could have been even more terrible injuries,” Weaver said. “I am grateful to the first responders of Alabaster Fire and Rescue, Alabaster Police Department, RPS ambulance service and Shelby ER for taking great care of me so quickly today.”
Weaver, a delegate pledged to President Donald Trump, said she has not yet determined if the incident will prevent her attendance at the Republican National Convention, which is scheduled to convene in Milwaukee on Monday.
A nurse with more than 25 years of experience in healthcare administration, Weaver served in the Trump administration as the Region IV director of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
