• Bryan Brewer's administrative assistant says the cause of the Saturday night wreck is so far unknown. Angie Sam says Brewer is still "pretty heavily medicated."
• The Rapid City Journal (http://bit.ly/W9FHuD ) reports that Brewer suffered cuts to his head and a broken hip, but Sam tells the newspaper it was a clean break and the president is expected to make a fast recovery.

• Sam says the injuries won't sideline Brewer's ability to fulfill his presidential duties for the tribe, though some meetings will need to be rescheduled.
