JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.
- Gov. Bob Holden was treated and released
from a hospital Sunday after falling out of a cart and
suffering "minor injuries" while doing
yardwork, a spokesman said.
The governor tumbled from the cart as it was being
pulled by an all-terrain vehicle at the family's cabin
in Osage County near the Gasconade River, said Jack
Cardetti, the governor's spokesman.
Cardetti said Holden had "minor injuries"
but he did not know any further details about the
accident, including what part of Holden's body was hurt.
Holden and members of his family had gone to the
vacation spot for the Fourth of July weekend. Cardetti
said alcohol was not involved in the accident.
Holden returned home after being released from the
hospital.
"He is resting comfortably at the governor's
mansion with his family," Cardetti said. "He
doesn't expect any change in his schedule this
week."
Holden is scheduled to make stops in Hannibal,
Springfield and Kansas City on Monday.
