DANCING WITH THE STARS Karina Smirnoff Rushed to Hospital During Rehearsal

By:

TMZ reports that professional dancer Karina Smirnoff was seriously injured today during a rehearsal for tonight's live broadcast of ABC's Dancing With the Stars and had to be lifted onto a stretcher and rushed to the hospital.

The site shared video of the EMT's helping the dancer onto the stretcher to bring her to the hospital for treatment of what is believed to be knee and wrist injuries.

Sources close to the show tell the site that x-rays revealed she did not fracture anything, but that producers were attempting to find a replacement for her for tonight's show. Although Karina and her partner, former MMA star Randy Couture, were already voted off the show, but she continues to perform in the full cast numbers.
