Dancing With The Stars: All Stars contestant Melissa Rycroft was taken to the hospital on Sunday after sustaining a head and neck injury while rehearsing for Monday’s live show.   Her rep explained in a statement:

“Melissa was taken by ambulance to a local hospital where she is currently being examined.  She was accompanied to the hospital by her husband, Tye Strickland, and her dance partner, Tony Dovolani.  Everyone is taking all necessary precautions at this time.”

Rycroft was treated and later released.   There has been no word whether she will perform tonight.

This is not Rycroft’s first injury on Dancing With The Stars.  She suffered a fractured rib when she appeared on the show during Season 8, and was unable to perform for a week.  Her performance was judged on a taped rehearsal in that instance, and she and Dovolani went on to earn third place for that season.
