'Big Bang Theory' star Mayim Bialik hurt in car accident

Former star of 'Blossom' might lose her thumb

The news this afternoon is just not good for actress Mayim Bialik. She's going to be OK, but she's been badly hurt after a car crash in Los Angeles earlier today. Apparently, the 36-year-old Bialik, who stars as Amy Farrah Fowler on the popular CBS sitcom The Big Bang Theory, suffered a major thumb injury in the accident, and she might lose it.

Hopefully Mayim will be alright, and doctors no doubt will do everything they can to save her thumb. I've been a fan of Bialik's since she first starred on Blossom all those years ago.Reports suggest that Mayim Bialik's car accident occurred when she was struck by a group of Chilean tourists at a busy Hollywood Boulevard intersection. A photo of Bialik's white Volvo sedan definitely shows some significant damage, but it honestly doesn't look that bad, considering. How on earth poor Mayim wound up with such horrific damage to her thumb is beyond me, but strange things can happen with any car accident, I suppose.

According to TMZ, Mayim was being treated at a hospital near the scene of the wreck. Witnesses on the scene were quoted as saying there was a lot of blood involved (no doubt) and that Bialik's finger "was almost completely severed." Yeesh! Certainly, Bialik's injuries could have been much worse, but potentially losing a thumb is absolutely a serious injury.

Get well soon, Blossom/Amy Fowler. Mayim Bialik was having such an amazing 2012, until today: She was nominated for her first-ever Emmy Award (for The Big Bang Theory). Now this?
