Durocher Hurt in Accident

Former baseball great Leo Durocher, 83, was listed in serious but stable condition at Desert Hospital early Friday, apparently after he was hurt in a traffic accident, authorities reported.

“Yes, he is here,” said Susan Pond, a nursing supervisor at the hospital.

Pond declined to say exactly what injuries the former player, manager and coach had suffered.

A police spokeswoman who declined to give her name said the accident occurred Wednesday morning in Palm Springs, but that further details were not immediately available.
