NC Gov. Mark Robinson was hospitalized with second-degree burns after an incident at a campaign rally

North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson was treated for second-degree burns at Northern Regional Hospital Friday night “following an incident at a campaign rally” in Mount Airy, according to Mike Lonergan, communications director for Robinson’s gubernatorial campaign.

Lonergan added in a statement that Robinson “is in good spirits, appreciates the many well wishes and looks forward to getting back on the campaign trail tomorrow morning as planned.”

Robinson's burns were the result of an accident at an auto show and were not a crime, a law enforcement source told CNN.

Robinson, North Carolina's Republican candidate for governor, made several campaign stops across the state on Friday, according to a previously provided schedule and social media posts. His last stop was the Mayberry Truck Show and Parade in Mount Airy, where the incident occurred.

The campaign did not provide further details about the incident.

NewsNation was the first to report his hospitalization, which a source close to his campaign confirmed to CNN on Friday evening.

Robinson's hospitalization comes amid ongoing fallout from CNN's reporting on the lieutenant governor's previous inflammatory comments on a pornography website's message board.

Many prominent Republicans subsequently tried to distance themselves from Robinson, including former President Donald Trump, who did not mention Robinson at a recent campaign stop in North Carolina despite previously supporting him.

National Republican groups have also withdrawn financial support for Robinson as several of his campaign officials have resigned and his top aide will step down.

As the embattled candidate continues his campaign, a new CNN poll shows Robinson losing the race. The poll released Friday and conducted by SSRS after the release of CNN KFile's reporting showed Democrat Josh Stein leading Robinson among likely voters, 53% to 36%.
