LOS ANGELES — Actress Heather Thomas underwent six hours of plastic and orthopedic surgery Thursday on her legs, which were broken when she was struck by a car.
“Her physician, Dr. Steve Hoefflin, remains hopeful of a good prognosis,” said a statement released Thursday night by St. John’s Hospital in Santa Monica.
Thomas first underwent plastic surgery Wednesday to repair the injuries she sustained in Tuesday’s accident.
Thomas, co-star of the canceled ABC-television series “The Fall Guy,” was jaywalking across San Vicente Boulevard after emerging from a market with a friend at 5:40 p.m. Tuesday when she was struck by a car traveling 15 to 20 m.p.h., Los Angeles Police Officer Victor Curti said.
The actress suffered cuts, scrapes and bruises, as well as the leg injuries. She also complained of head and chest pains, Curti said.
Neither Thomas nor the car driver was cited in the accident, Curti said.
