Jaroslaw Walesa

WARSAW, Poland – A doctor says the son of Poland's former president, Lech Walesa, is in stable condition after surgery to his spine following a motorcycle accident.

Jaroslaw Walesa was operated on Friday night and a military hospital spokesman said Saturday his condition was stable. More surgery is planned later.

The 34-year-old Walesa sustained injuries to his spine, pelvis and shoulders on Friday when his motorcycle collided with an SUV in Stropkowo in central Poland. He was airlifted to a hospital in Plock and then to Warsaw.

Doctors are hopeful Walesa will be able to walk again.
