Emilio, Wife Injured In Traffic Collision

Tejano singer Emilio Navaira and his wife were injured in a traffic crash on Wednesday evening.

A family member told KSAT 12 News that Navaira's wife, Maria, was driving at the time of the crash.

Navaira's manager said the singer and his wife were returning from a physical therapy session when the car they were riding in was struck about 5:30 p.m. at the intersection of Culebra and Potranco roads on the city's far northwest side. They were both taken to University Hospital and the two are in stable condition, a hospital spokesperson said.

The family member said the singer was not seriously injured and was being kept in the hospital for overnight observation.

"They were scared, but the docs said everything looks alright," said Raul Navaira, the singer's brother.

The singer recently returned to San Antonio when the hospital he was staying at was evacuated due to Hurricane Ike.

Navaira and his bandmates were involved in an Easter Sunday bus crash near Houston. Navaira, who was driving the bus, was thrown through the windshield and spent several days on life support before recovering enough to be moved to a rehabilitation hospital. Several of his bandmates, including his brother, were also injured in the wreck.

Navaira had a blood alcohol level of 0.19, more than twice the legal limit, according to a report in the Houston Chronicle in May.

Navaira has not been charged until his mental status is determined, a police report stated.
