GOP Congressman Lists His Injuries After Horror Fall From Florida Roof

Rep. Greg Steube said he was recovering “from a fractured pelvis, a punctured lung, and several torn ligaments in my neck.”

After a bone-shattering fall from his roof last week, Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) announced Monday that he would sidelined for “several weeks” while he recovers from his injuries. Steube shared the first look at his injuries in a brief update on Twitter, which included a photo of himself reclining on a couch while wearing a neck brace. The Florida Republican said he was recovering “from a fractured pelvis, a punctured lung, and several torn ligaments in my neck”—the first accounting of his health issues since he fell off a ladder at his Sarasota home last Wednesday. “While I will be sidelined in Sarasota for several weeks, I will be carrying out as many of my congressional duties as possible, and our DC and district staff continue to be readily available to assist Floridians in FL,” he added. “I’m eager to rejoin my colleagues in Washington as soon as possible!”
