From TMZ:
Mayim Bialik sustained serious injuries in a car accident in Los Angeles this afternoon … and sources tell us the “Big Bang Theory” actress is in danger of losing her finger.
It all went down on the corner of Hollywood Blvd. and La Brea around noon … sources tell us the former “Blossom” actress was traveling alone in a white Volvo which was struck in the intersection by another vehicle filled with tourists from Chile.
We’re told emergency responders raced to the scene. One source tells us there was “tons and tons of blood everywhere.”
Sources tell us Bialik sustained major damage to her left hand … and “her finger was almost completely severed … it was just hanging there.”
We’re told 36-year-old Mayim was rushed to a nearby hospital where she is being treated.
OH MAN. This is sad, and way, way upsetting. It definitely could have been worse—though we’re not exactly sure how bad it even is, to begin with, but how awful. I subscribe to all of Mayim‘s Facebook updates, and while she’s not a “friend,” she’s definitely a favorite, for a massive variety of reasons.
Best of best wishes to Mayim and her family right now, guys.
Story developing …
Update: Mayim’s husband is Tweeting on her behalf, saying:
(husband typing) In pain but will keep all my fingers. If u wanna See pre accident me watch The Soup tonight lol
She tweeted she’s keeping all her fingers.
Are you sure Lindsey Lohan or Amanda Bynes weren’t out tonight disguised as Chilean tourists???
Haha!
Poor Amy!
Oog. I hate hospitals. They give me the booboojeebies.
ME TOO.
