Carrie Bernans, an actress and stuntwoman, was struck by a terrifying hit-and-run incident in Manhattan early Monday morning. According to a police report obtained by People, the 29-year-old was dining outdoors when a black Mercedes plowed into the Chirp restaurant around 1:30 am. The new mother, who thankfully did not have her child with her, suffered several broken bones and is now in stable condition at an area hospital.
The collision occurred during a police foot chase after officers responded to reports of a physical assault involving the driver and passenger near 33rd and 6th. The driver fled, mounted the sidewalk, and struck several pedestrians and a food cart. Two officers were injured when the driver mounted the curb again and crashed into parked and moving vehicles before being apprehended. All injured parties except the driver were reported to be in stable condition at Bellevue Hospital, where the driver himself remains in critical condition.
Graphic Instagram images shared by Bernans’ mother, Patricia Lee, revealed the extent of her daughter’s injuries from the collision. One photo showed Bernans’ battered, bloody face with chipped and broken teeth, and another displayed her lying hospitalized. Lee wrote that her daughter was in a lot of pain and couldn't answer calls. She also revealed that Bernans was knocked unconscious and pinned under the stand.
Despite her injuries, Bernans is filled with hope and faith. Thanks to helpful first responders, strangers, family and friends, Bernans was able to start on the path towards recovery and new beginnings. Lee asked supporters to keep her daughter in their thoughts and prayers.
An ongoing investigation is taking place following the devastating hit-and-run incident, and hopefully the perpetrator will soon be brought to justice.
