The Canadian actress, who stars in television’s 24, walked into oncoming traffic on a busy street in New York City. Cuthbert was struck by a car and thrown across the street. The actress was convinced she was going to die.
According to FemaleFirst, Cuthbert said, "This is so cool of me because you realise the kind of person you are. I leaped up onto the car and I bounced and I flew all the way across the intersection. And I land right on my butt in the middle of the intersection. Am I dead? No I’m not dead. Do I have any bones broken? No. Purse still intact.’"
