GADSDEN, Ala. (AP) — Former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore, who has formed a committee to explore a possible run for president, suffered several broken ribs in a horse-riding accident at his farm near Gadsden in Etowah County.
Moore was injured on Sunday. That's the same day former Alabama Gov. Bob Riley was hurt in a motorcycle crash in Alaska. Riley defeated Moore in the 2006 Republican Primary for governor.
Rich Hobson, executive director of the Foundation for Moral Law, said the 64-year-old Moore fell while attempting to get on a horse. He said the former chief justice went to an orthopedic specialist and is now resting at home.
Moore is president of the Foundation of Moral Law and has formed an exploratory committee to run for the Republican nomination for president.
Because of the accident, Hobson said Moore has had to take time off from making campaign appearances in Iowa, South Carolina and other early primary states.
The 66-year-old Riley suffered broken ribs, a broken collarbone and a punctured lung when he lost control of his motorcycle on a highway north of Fairbanks on Sunday. Riley was listed in fair condition at Fairbanks Memorial Hospital on Wednesday.
Riley was on a cross-country motorcycle trip to Alaska that he started planning before he left the governor's office in January.
