Robinson was making an appearance at the Mayberry truck show in Mount Airy when he was injured, campaign spokesperson Mike Lonergan said in a statement.
Robinson was treated at Northern regional hospital in Mount Airy for second-degree burns, he added.
The rest of the article is fluff.

saltesc @lemmy.world And second degree burning is blistering. Could've been as simple as leaning against a truck exhaust.
Edit: Oh, I stand corrected. It is blistering at most.

Ilovethebomb @lemm.ee My guess is he stuck his hand on the exhaust, or something similar.

Damn, shame.
