March 2 (UPI) -- Danise Baird, the wife of Republican Rep. Jim Baird, has died from complications of injuries she sustained in an early January car crash, according to a statement from the Indiana congressman's office.
Jim and Danise Baird were involved in a car crash on Jan. 5, hospitalizing both of them.
Little information about the incident has been made public. According to a social media statement published by their son Beau Baird in mid-January, they were involved in a hit-and-run on the night of Jan. 5. He added that his mother suffered "nearly 15 breaks and fractures."
Less than two weeks after the crash, Jim Baird, who is 80, announced that he and his wife had been discharged and were recovering.
