State legislator Rusty Kidd from middle Georgia is an Atlanta hospital after an accident Thursday.

Kidd suffers neck injuries after someone trying to help him get down the stairs in his wheelchair outside his Milledgeville office slipped and fell on him.

Kidd’s son says his father was able to eat and move his arms Friday morning.

Kidd has used a wheelchair since a motorcycle accident 11 years ago. He was elected to a second term in the Legislature on Tuesday.
