Clinch Mountain Boys Recuperating After Car Accident

Two members of Ralph Stanley's band, Clinch Mountain Boys, are recuperating after a wreck that occurred last month.
Singer Nathan Stanley (Ralph Stanley's grandson), fiddler Dewey Brown and his wife Leslie were injured while returning home from a show in June when a drunk driver slammed into the back of their van and sent them into a ditch. Stanley broke both legs, while Leslie suffered a broken leg and serious bruising, reported The Bluegrass Blog.
Road manager James Alan Shelton released this statement about their conditions:

"Nathan and Leslie are recuperating at home and both seem to be doing OK. It is just going to take a lot of time for them to heal.
I think Leslie is walking a little bit but Nathan can only put his full weight on one of his broken legs. He is not able to walk and is using a wheelchair to get around. He is exercising his legs quite a bit and seems to be doing remarkably well. Nathan actually performed while sitting in his wheelchair last Thursday night at our show at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, but it will be awhile before he is able to go back full time.
Dewey wasn’t as seriously injured as the other two so he is doing just fine. I saw pictures of the car and they are all very lucky to be alive. Everyone appreciates the cards, letters and prayers they have received and the concern that has been shown by the bluegrass community since the accident."
