HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Emilio Navaira has reached a significant milestone in his recovery and has been upgraded to fair condition at Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center. Emilio was injured when the tour bus he was driving crashed on the West Loop last month. He has remained in critical condition since the accident early on Easter Sunday morning. Navaira's manager tells Eyewitness News today the singer is talking a bit and eating, and he does remember some things, like his family. Joe Casias says Navaira hasn't talked about the accident, and family and friends haven't asked him about it. The wreck also put members of his band Rio in the hospital. Police are still trying to figure out how the accident at Loop 610 and the Southwest Freeway happened. The band had performed the night before at a club in southeast Houston. http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=news/local&id=6084859#bodyText The Bellaire Police Department says eight people, including Navaira, were in the bus.
