He sustained a broken pelvis, broken ribs, and a collapsed lung. He was life-flighted to Billings so that he could receive care at a Level 1 Trauma Center.

“While his injuries are serious, he is alert and his vitals are good,” said a statement on his GoFundMe.

A GoFundMe is set up to help Henderson and his family while he recovers.

Henderson was scheduled to testify before the Legislation and speak at a Medicaid expansion rally.
