From cnn, Actor Michael McKean was hit by a car while walking along a New York City street on Tuesday, suffering a broken leg, the New York Post reports.
Harriet Sternberg, his manager, told the Post McKean was being checked out at St. Luke's Hospital.
“He has sustained multiple injures and we are trying to find out the extent of other injuries,” the Post quoted her as saying.
McKean, 64, played the lead singer for the band Spinal Tap in the movie "This is Spinal Tap" among numerous other roles.
He was to have performed on Broadway in Gore Vidal’s “The Best Man” on Tuesday night, the New York Daily News reported.
“It’s the first time he will have ever missed a curtain in his entire life,” Sternberg told the Daily News. “He’s never missed stage, screens in film or television. His understudy has never gone on in 40-plus years.”

Wow - that understudy must be psyched to finally get some work!
That picture is hilarious.
Who do you think was driving?
Squiggy.
Well at least it's only a broken leg. We can still long for a Spinal Tap or Folksmen reunion.
i vote folksmen opening for spinal tap.
Not cool. That's just too much strain to throw at anyone, much less at one of the players of Spinal Tap and one of the more versatile comedians in Hollywood. Hope he gets to the bottom of these; those medical costs shouldn't have to pay for themselves.
