Carly Pope and her actor brother Kris Pope were taken to the hospital for injuries and have been released from the facility. "We're recovering, but we're pretty banged up," Kris told The Canadian Press. "Carly's got a couple of broken vertebrae, and I've got a broken wrist, possibly a broken ankle and a smashed up face."
Carly was rushed to hospital after her car was smashed into a building. Before the accident happened, a man jumped onto the hood of the "24" star's BMW which was driven by Kris who immediately got out of the vehicle to check out the situation. But, when he was out of the car, the stranger jumped into the driver's seat and tried to drive away. The carjacker crashed into five other cars before hitting the CBC building.
The carjacker has been put into custody. The 31-year-old named David Fomradas faces charges of kidnapping, aggravated assault,...

Canadian actress Carly Pope was admitted to hospital in Vancouver on Tuesday after a thief hijacked her car and smashed it into a building.
The TV star, who found fame on high school drama Popular and has appeared in 24, was a passenger in a BMW driven by her actor brother Kris when an unknown man leaped onto the hood of the car.
According to TMZ.com, Pope's sibling climbed out of the car to confront the male but he managed to jump into the vacant driver's seat and attempted to speed off - with the actress still in the car.
Kris Pope struggled with the thief and tried to pull him out of the car, prompting the man to reverse and crash into three other vehicles before smashing into a building.
The siblings were taken to hospital to seek medical care for injuries, along with a pedestrian and the suspect, who was arrested at the scene.
The extent of the actress' injuries were unknown as WENN went to press, but Kris was released later that night.
