Feel Better, Felix!

Former city councilor Felix Arroyo, who was voted out in the last election, is recovering after being hit by a car in Venezuela. Arroyo was in Venezuela visiting the family of his fiance.

The incident happened a month ago, but the injuries were serious enough that he is still in Venezuela recovering. The Globe reports that he sustained broken ribs and a punctured lung:

The driver of the car took Arroyo to a clinic, where he got seven stitches in his head, he said. He had pain in his side, but an X-ray did not reveal any broken ribs. The next day he was released and traveled with his fiancée to a town where her brother lives.

But soon, his face began to swell "like a balloon," he said. The couple raced to another clinic where doctors determined that a lung had been punctured and was leaking air into his body.

Doctors were able to help him, and at least he was well enough to speak to reporters.
