President Bush is praying for Rep. Bill Janklow (R), former governor of South Dakota, and says the August 16 accident in which a motorcyclist died was "unintentional."

"My prayers go to Bill - he hurts, he hurts," Bush told Gannett News Service. "This matter will run its course. It's an unintentional accident."

Janklow, who hasn't spoken publicy about the accident, has returned to Washington, D.C., to continue his duties as a Congressman. He has been charged with second-degree manslaughter, a felony, for hitting and killing Randy Scott.

Janklow suffered injuries in the accident. According to the Associated Press, he had to be helped while descending the steps of the U.S. Capitol. "It feels good," he was quoted as saying. "I'm glad to get back to work."
