Hunter Myers: Rising Star, Tragic Accident
Myers, 27, was called a “rising star” in the harness racing world and was ranked as one of the top 10 drivers in North America. He died on Wednesday, March 19 after injuries sustained in an accident during the 11th race at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows in Washington, Pennsylvania.
Myers was driving Always B Royalty when Uptown Callie (driver Dave Palone) made a break before three-quarters that “triggered a chain reaction spill that impacted five horses in total,” according to Daily Racing Form. Myers was thrown from his vehicle as another driver crossed in front of him. The other drivers and horses involved in the crash sustained minor injuries. Myers was airlifted to Allegheny General Hospital where he died of his injuries the day after the accident.

“… he helped 7+ people … I know two of his recipients had been on the [transplant] list for awhile waiting for a match and Hunter matched both …” Hunter’s mother, Kelly Myers, said on Facebook. Hunter’s father is trainer Michael Myers.
An 11-year-old girl received Hunter’s liver, and another recipient waiting on the list for a long time, got his heart, Kelly Myers said.
“Kidneys, lungs, pancreas and corneas all found homes! They were also able to get some bone morrow to help with cancer patients… he was just an amazing human with a heart of gold 💛 …,So proud of him,” she said.
Hunter grew up in Williamsport, Ohio and later moved to Chagrin Falls, Ohio, where he lived with his fiancée and son. He garnered early praise in harness racing, starting in 2014 at the age of 16. He won a total of 2,450 races and earned over $21 million in purses throughout his career, according to reports.
