On Tuesday evening, longtime Sesame Street star Loretta Long was struck by a car while walking near her New Jersey home.

The veteran actress was crossing Route 130 at Dutch Neck Road when she was hit by a vehicle and carried approximately 70 feet on the hood of the car until falling onto the pavement. She was taken to Fuld Hospital in Trenton, New Jersey where she was treated for head injuries and a broken shin.

“I never saw the guy and I guess he never saw me,” Long told The Trentonian. “I have no idea what happened. I was crossing the street going to the Rite-Aid, and when I opened my eyes, I thought, ‘Am I doing an episode of ‘ER’?’ Because I was already in the ambulance.”

Long, 71, who played the character Susan on Sesame Street for 40 years, is still in the hospital but is said to be doing much better.

The East Windsor Police Department has questioned the motorist involved in the incident, although the matter remains under investigation.
