Ala. PSC President Lucy Baxley injured in fall

    Public Service Commission President Lucy
Baxley is hospitalized due to injuries suffered in a fall.

    Baxley’s assistant, Lisa Parrish, said Baxley fell in Birmingham
on Thanksgiving Day while visiting family and suffered a hairline
fracture to her pelvis. She said Baxley did not require surgery,
but she was hospitalized in Montgomery.

    Parrish said Baxley is expected to make a full recovery and
return to work soon.

    The fall came two years after Baxley suffered a stroke that
damaged her left side and required her to walk with a cane.

    Baxley was elected to the PSC on Nov. 4. She had been set to
preside over her first commission meeting Tuesday, but that meeting
was postponed due to her injury.
