Joe Pantoliano rushed to hospital after getting hit by car during walk in Connecticut neighborhood

Joe Pantoliano was rushed to a Connecticut hospital Friday after he was hit by a car while out for a walk.

The Sopranos star was out with his family in their neighborhood when a Porsche skidded across the road and struck him.

He suffered a gash to his head and injuries to his left leg and shoulder after he was thrown a few feet backward by the car into a wooden fence. 

According to TMZ, EMTs quickly arrived to the scene, and Pantoliano, 68, was given a CT scan. 

Wife Nancy Sheppard said that she expects The Matrix actor to pull through and make a full recovery.

She also revealed the Porsche was t-boned by another car, and both drivers remained at the scene as police investigated. 

The Memento star took to Instagram with a video from shortly before the incident, as he showed a rainbow over their country view.

He said before showing his family walking ahead of him: ‘Look at that rainbow! How do you like that beauty? And all my little rainbows ahead of me.’ 

Pantoliano joined his Goonies co-stars earlier this week for a virtual reunion, with special appearances from Steven Spielberg and Cyndi Lauper.

He and Robert Davi, who was also present for the event, played the villainous Fratelli brothers in the iconic 1985 film.

Their co-stars Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Corey Feldman, Jeff Cohen, Ke Huy Quan, Martha Plimpton and Kerri Green also appeared.

Hosted by Josh Gad for his new series Reunite Apart, it raised money for the Center for Disaster Philanthropy’s COVID-19 Response Fund.
