Marvel actress is hit by a drunk driver and raises money for recovery

Mother of Carrie Bernans, Patricia Lee has been updating fans of the actress and Marvel stuntman about the serious accident suffered by her daughter. This Tuesday, 2nd, Lee reported through Instagram: “She [Carrie] was involved in a traumatic accident in New York in which a man in his early 40s struck several cars before crashing into a restaurant where she and her friend were passing by.”

In the same publication, Patricia stated that Carrie — who was in the movies black Panther (2018) and Avengers: Endgame (2019) — broke bones, suffered fractures and lost pieces of some teeth when she was hit by the car driven by a drunk driver. “Nine people were injured,” she continued. “Despite the chaos of the New Year’s incident, she has an immense sense of gratitude for life as it is.”

The artist’s family opened an account on a crowdfunding website to pay for teeth reconstruction, medical expenses, therapy, care for their eight-month-old son, grocery shopping and financial support while she is unable to work. This Wednesday, 3rd, Carrie wrote in Instagram story:

So many feelings this morning. I’m feeling the love, support and prayers, but to be honest, I’m hurting physically and mentally. The only thing I can think about is my son. I hate that he has to see me in pain and looking like this. I’m grateful to my family for keeping him entertained and taking care of him. I don’t even recognize myself anymore. I am mentally confused, but turning to God during this period, while I feel pain from the oxygen machine that was in my throat, the surgery, the bruises on my head and the rest. I do not even know where to begin with. From a person who barely took medication, to someone who needs so many… I’m in pain. I know God will heal me, but to be honest, everything hurts. Thank you for your prayers and support. I can’t wait to have teeth again and other sensations in my body.
