Pia Zadora Injury: Las Vegas Entertainer Bleeding on Brain and Compound Ankle Fracture Following Golf Cart Fall

Pia Zadora Injury - The actress and singer was hospitalized with physical trauma following an accident near her home.

According to multiple Pia Zadora injury reports, the entertainer remains in intensive condition at the University Medical Center hospital after suffering serious head and leg injuries.

She was reportedly hurled from a golf cart that was being driver by her son, Jordan, 17, on Thursday, Sept. 11, at around 5:45 p.m. The unfortunate incident happened as the teenager made a left turn onto a street in Summerlin, the northwest home in Las Vegas community where their home is located.

Pia's husband, Mike Jeffries, told the Las Vegas Sun that his wife had suffered bleeding on her brain and a compound fracture of her right ankle following the accident. He also said that despite the fact that she has been in and out of consciousness, her condition seems to be getting better.

The actress' rep said Pia Zadora's injury on her ankle will require a surgery, and she will undergo the procedure once she improves enough.

She was set to sing this weekend and the next, with pianist Vinnie Falcone's band at Piero's Italian restaurant near the Last Vegas strip. However, due to Pia Zadora's injury, those appearances will now be canceled, Guardian Liberty Voice reported.

In the 1960s, Zadora first made her appearance on Broadway as a child in "Fiddler on the Roof" and the movies "Midgie Purvis" and "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians." She then went to star in the Orson Welles crime drama titled "Butterfly" in 1981, and won a 1982 Golden Globe award for New Star of the Year in a Motion Picture for her performance, Us Weekly has learned. However, the same role reportedly earned her the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actress and Worst New Star.

Prior Pia Zadora's injury, she was ordered by a Las Vegas judge last year to complete alcohol and impulse-control counseling following a domestic quarrel that had her spraying her teenage son with a hose to get him to go to bed.
