Emilio Navaira Fights For His Life
Grammy-winning singer Emilio Navaira is currently in critical condition at a Houston, Texas hospital after being thrown through the front windshield of the bus he was driving on Sunday morning. Police report that they are uncertain about whether drunk driving played a part in the accident.
The bus slammed into traffic barrels at an intense speed, which caused Navaira major head injuries. According to the Houston Chronicle, he was flown by helicopter to Memorial Hermann Hospital, where doctors operated to relieve swelling and removed a blood clot in his head.
A close friend to the singer stated,
“They told me they had to induce a coma to help relieve that pressure. They told me that had given him a 20 percent chance (of surviving), so the next 24 hours is critical.”
There were seven other band members on the bus, who were also rushed to the hospital for injuries. We are praying for everyone involved in this terrible accident.
