As is being reported, actress Natasha Richardson was seriously injured in a skiing accident in Canada yesterday and was taken to a Montreal hospital with serious head injuries. Now TMZ is reporting the details of that accident.

From TMZ:

We're told she was having a private lesson on a green slope (beginner) at a ski resort in Quebec, Canada. She fell -- we're not sure why. There was no blood and no sign of impact. Two ski patrollers came to her rescue. When they got there she was conscious -- smiling and making jokes.

An hour later, Natasha started to complain of a headache and said she didn't feel well. Someone called 911 from the ski resort and she was taken to the hospital. She was conscious when she left the resort.

Richardson, the daughter of actress Vanessa Redgrave, is married to actor Liam Neeson.  This must be an incredibly difficult time for the whole family, particularly the couple's two young sons Micheál,13, and Daniel, 12.  Our thoughts go out to all of them.

**UPDATE / 5:45 PM ET:  The New York Post is reporting that Natasha Richardson has been declared brain dead and is being flown home to die.  CLICK HERE for details.

*UPDATE / 2:16 PM ET:  Contrary to media reports, Natasha Richardson has not died.  CLICK HERE for details.

How scary. How many times have we all bumped our heads and not thought a thing of it? I'm definitley going to wear a helmet skiing from now on. I wish her family the best in during this tragic time.

curious - wonder if she fell because of something going on in her brain - like an AVM - that was the "injury", not caused by the fall, but causing the fall.  What a tragedy.  Hopes and prayers for her and her family.

i think that it is possible that there was no CT scan at the first hospital  That is the problem with socialized medicine.

Former Canadian doctor.
