Best wishes to Natasha and her family.

She is a wonderful actress and (from what I've seen) quite the person as well.

When I read this I thought she'd broken an arm or leg. But I never imagined this. I hope everything turns out okay for her.

I don't know where they get this phrase from, but the Irish Central News describes in injury as a "traumatic brain injury."

This is too horrible.

Terribly sad, but just remember, it's an unverified report.

Hope she comes out of it OK.

Wouldn't any injury the brain be "traumatic"?

a concussion can be considered a traumatic brain injury. let's hope it's no more than that and that she comes out of this ok.

God, this is not good news.

"suffered a brain injury and is in critical condition"

If this is so this could be a life or death struggle.
