Just saw this on our local news:

Michael McKean, the actor best known to metal heads as David St. Hubbins of "Spinal Tap" fame, was seriously injured when he was hit by a car while crossing a Manhattan street today. He's got a broken leg and was in critical condition for a while, though this report sez he's now been upgraded to stable condition.
