Brookport Mayor Recovering from Crash

The mayor of Brookport is improving, days after he was injured in a car wreck.
A spokeswoman for Deaconess Hospital in Evansville, Indiana, said John Klaffer was in stable condition Monday.

Klaffer was injured Friday in a head-on collision while delivering mail as a postal worker.
 

Brookport's city council selected one of its own, Tom Souders, to serve as an interim mayor until Klaffer recovers.

Three people died in Brookport during the November 17th tornado, which stayed on the ground for 11 miles.
 

Souders says he's ``just going to carry on'' with storm recovery efforts.
