Virginia governor hospitalized after being thrown from horse

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe was hospitalized Monday in Richmond with complications from being tossed by a horse and breaking seven ribs during a holiday trip to Africa with his family, a spokesman said.

McAuliffe was expected to spend the night at Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center and recover for two or three days, spokesman Brian Coy said.

Doctors had expected the ribs to heal on their own, but medical monitoring identified increased fluid around his lungs, Coy said. The medical procedure was intended to drain the fluid, he said.
