Actor Carrie Bernans was among those hurt on New Year’s Day when a driver fleeing police plowed into an outdoor dining area at a New York City restaurant, injuring several people.
Bernans, 29, an actor and stuntperson in "Black Panther," "The Color Purple" and "Luke Cage," was knocked unconscious and penned under a bus in the hit-and-run, her mother said on social media and a GoFundMe campaign.
Bernans sustained broken bones, fractures and chipped teeth and required emergency surgery, according to the information posted Tuesday on her Instagram account.
Bernans, the mother to an 8-month-old, is unable to breastfeed her son “due to the medications she is currently taking to subdue the pain between her surgeries," wrote her mother, Patricia Lee.
Despite her injuries, Bernans said on GoFundMe that she is "filled with hope and faith in the unfolding of a beautiful new chapter.”
