EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Three drivers have been taken to the hospital following a spill in the second race at Meadowlands Racetrack on Friday night. Six drivers were unseated in the accident.

It occurred early in the race when Four Starzz Left stumbled to the ground, tossing George Brennan out of the sulky.

Drivers Daniel Dube, Brian Sears, Eric Goodell, Ron Pierce and Richard Silverman were unseated in the chain reaction that followed.

Silverman and Dube were taken immediately to Hackensack University Medical Center, and Pierce was later sent for X-rays on a sore shoulder.

Silverman, the most seriously hurt of the drivers, underwent a CAT scan, the results of which were not immediately known.

All six horses involved in the spill escaped serious injury, the track said.
