A fundraiser has been set up after things got a little too western for some at Halstead Downs on Championship Sunday as CPCA driver Glenn Myette was injured after being thrown from his wagon.
This morning, a Go Fund Me was set up for donations to help with his care as well as his family while he recovers.
The Lloydminster Agricultural Exhibition Association posted today that one driver was injured during Sunday’s final.
“Yesterday CPCA chuckwagon driver Glenn Myette was in an accident at the NACC Championships during a race,” said the post. “Speedy recovery, cowboy – we hope to see you back on the wagon track soon!”
According to witnesses, Myette, also known as the “Rush Lake Rocket,” was injured during the second heat of races at the Ex grounds. The races were stopped while emergency services personnel attended to Myette on the track.
According to the post, Myette suffered fractured wrists, four fractured ribs, collapsed lung, spinal fracture and bruising. They noted his road to recovery will be long and any community support would be greatly appreciated. They have set an initial goal of $5,000 to help during this time.
