CAMBRIDGE, MA - State Senate candidate Jeff Ross was admitted to Mt. Auburn Hospital emergency room with back injuries after a motorist careened into his car on Route 3 North earlier today.

            Ross, currently a candidate for the Middlesex, Essex, and Suffolk seat recently vacated by Jarrett Barrios, is a human rights attorney.  Ross was returning from his visit to a detained political refugee, when his car was struck from behind by another motorist.

            "I checked into the hospital on the advice of my doctor.  My back is injured, I'll have to see how bad it is in the next day or so.  I hope to be back very soon knocking on doors, talking to constituents about the issues that matter most," said Ross.
