This is Spinal Tap star Michael McKean was walking along the Upper West Side of Manhattan Tuesday when a car hit him… HARD!!

If you don't know him from the classic cult film, you probably know him as Lenny from Laverne and Shirley. The people who hit him, however, know him as one of the biggest driving lessons of their life!

The 64-year-old actor was found bleeding from his head after the incident occurred on W. 86th St. and Broadway right before 3pm. As soon as the ambulance arrived, they loaded him up and went to St. Luke's Hospital where his critical condition was upgraded to stable. Phew!!

His publicist notes he was on his way to a performance, stating:

We're thinking of you, Jack!

To recap, Jack the Cat was lost at JFK airport over two months ago, and he was finally found late last month.

Jack was brought to the hospital in critical condition after literally falling from the sky, and we had heard that he had a 50-50 shot at surviving.

Now, Jack has returned to the West Side of Manhattan, where he'll continue to receive care, and hopefully make a full recovery.

Here's what veterinarian Benjamin Davidson had to say about it in a statement:

As we previously mentioned, Jack the Cat, who was lost at JFK Airport for over two months was finally found.

Before being sent home to his owner he had to stay at a veterinary hospital because he was dehydrated from being on his own for so long.

But new details have just been released about Jack's condition.

First, it turns out he was found when he literally fell from the sky.

"He fell through a ceiling tile in the customs office. Somebody in the customs room saw him and contacted American."

So after suffering the fall, and weeks of malnourishment, Jack is in critical condition at the hospital.

He is being fed through a nasal tube, receiving medication via IV, getting blood pressure support and wearing a cone.

A rep from the animal hospital said:

"Jack is still critical at this time. He has shown some improvement, but the biggest issue is some life-threatening skin wounds that are present.

He is severely muscle-wasted and has evidence of fatty liver syndrome, which lets us know his malnourishment was pretty chronic."

As for now, they're saying Jack is at "50-50," though his body temperature and blood pressure are improving and he's showing more interested in eating food on his own.

His owner is going to go to New York to be with Jack, and begin to make preparations to take him home.

We really hope Jack pulls through this.

Our hearts and thoughts go out to Jack and his owner.

UGH! We are gutted!

This is so horrible and waaay too scary!

Scott Dekraai allegedly went berserk yesterday, storming into Seal Beach's Salon Meritage and killing eight people, including his ex-wife Michelle Dekraai. He left a ninth victim in critical condition.

Those in the community believe the rage erupted from a passionate court battle involving the custody of their seven-year-old son.

According to the police, Dekraai was found and arrested about a half-mile from the scene of the crime.

One of the salon's patrons at the the time, Cindy, reveals her experience:

It is unclear HOW he fell, but the reality contestant hit the ground on September 3rd and suffered a pelvic injury, torn ligaments, a punctured lung, and a broken leg as a result.

Hopefully there was no foul play!
