May 13, 2011 (Los Angeles, CA) - ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT caught up with a very serious and concerned Hines Ward outside of a L.A. hospital. When asked how his "Dancing with the Stars" partner is doing, Hines says, "I don't know, but I'm about to find out."

Earlier today, ET reported that dancer Kym Johnson was carried out of rehearsals on a stretcher that's being brought to a L.A. hospital.  No word yet on her condition or what caused the ambulance to be called.

Kym's rep states that she injured herself during rehearsals today and was taken to the hospital for precautionary measures, to assure that she is ok.

The dancing duo has remained a favorite to win the Mirror Ball trophy in the show's 12th season, consistently receiving high scores from judges Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli.

Watch tonight's ET for exclusive footage of Hines Ward reacting to Kym's injury.
