Surgery On Tap For Two Drivers Injured At Meadows

September 29, 2021 3:19 am

Two drivers who were hurt in an accident Tuesday afternoon at the Meadows Race Track in North Strabane Township will require surgery.  In a statement, The Meadows Standardbred Owners Association says a horse piloted by James Dodson took a bad step entering the far turn and fell to the track. A second horse driven by Chris Shaw could not avoid the fallen horse and also fell, flipping Shaw from the bike.  Dodson bounced to his feet quickly and was taken to an area hospital for treatment of a broken collarbone and will undergo surgery.  According to a Facebook post on Wednesday, Shaw suffered multiple injuries, including a broken nose and several fractures throughout his body, some of which will require surgery.  The horses were reportedly not injured.
