SALT LAKE CITY >> Motivational speaker and author Stephen R. Covey is recovering in a Provo, Utah, hospital after suffering a head injury in a bicycle accident.
Publicist Debra Lund said the 79-year-old Covey is responding to family members Friday, a day after falling from his bike.

Provo police Sgt. Mathew Siufanua said officers found Covey unconscious after his assistant reported the crash on a steep hill.
