Gayle Manchin, the federal co-chair of the Appalachian Regional Commission, and the wife of U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, is in a hospital in Birmingham, Alabama, after she and a commission staff member were involved in a car crash.
The commission and Sen. Manchin’s office said Gayle Manchin and Guy Land, a congressional liaison, were in Birmingham for a grant workshop when another car struck their vehicle on Monday.
Land and Manchin were transported to the University of Alabama-Birmingham hospital. Gayle Manchin is in stable condition, her husband’s office said, and she will remain there for a few days as a precaution.
Gayle Manchin was nominated to lead the 13-state commission in 2021 by President Joe Biden and confirmed by the Senate. She’s the first West Virginian to serve in that role in the commission’s 59-year history.
Joe Manchin, a Democrat, is not running for re-election to the Senate.
