Mayim Bialik injury

Blossom star Mayim Bialik was seriously injured Wednesday in a car accident in Los Angeles.

Bialik, 36, was driving in L.A. when a car with three tourists from Chile turned into her vehicle at Hollywood Boulevard and caused the crash, LAPD Sgt. Monte Houze tells PEOPLE.

"From what I was told, there was a lot of blood at the scene," says Houze.

He says Bialik suffered "a severe injury to her left thumb" and
was taken to a local hospital. The tourists were not cited or detained.

But the star won't be losing a digit. On Wednesday afternoon, Bialik posted a message on Twitter saying, "(husband typing) In pain but will keep all my fingers. If u wanna see pre accident me watch The Soup tonight lol."
