Grammy-winning Tejano singer Emilio Navaira and his wife have been discharged from a San Antonio hospital.
A University Hospital spokeswoman said they were discharged late Thursday, a day after their car collided with a truck.
Emilio Navaira has been undergoing rehabilitation since wrecking his tour bus in suburban Houston in March. His agent, Joe Casias, did not return a Friday call for comment from The Associated Press. He told the San Antonio Express-News, however, that Emilio Navaira suffered no bone fractures but doctors "are watching him very closely."
Casias says the couple was on the way back from rehab at the time of the wreck. Navaira had been taking his rehab sessions in Houston until Hurricane Ike caused him and his wife to return home to San Antonio recently.
After the Houston accident, doctors performed two brain surgeries and repaired an aneurysm in the performer's right lung. His doctors had been encouraged by his quick recovery but have said it is difficult to determine whether he will recover fully.
Known to his fans simply as Emilio, has released more than a dozen albums with his band. He won a Grammy for best Tejano album in 2003 with "Acuerdate."
