Sopranos star Joe Pantoliano rushed to hospital after being hit by car

Joe Pantoliano was reportedly rushed to the hospital on Friday after being struck by a car.

The Sopranos star's wife Nancy Sheppard told TMZ that the actor had been out on a walk with his family Friday evening when he was involved in a car accident, People reports.

Pantoliano, 68, was struck by a Porsche that had been T-boned by another vehicle, Sheppard told the outlet. The actor was injured on his left leg and shoulder and suffered a gash to his head, she told TMZ, after the impact of the Porsche caused him to collide into a wooden fence a few feet away.

The Memento star was taken to the hospital, where he underwent a CT scan, according to the outlet.

 
Pantoliano's agent tells PEOPLE that the actor returned home later on Friday after getting stitches at the hospital.

"Yes he was hit by a car. He is home now recovering and is being monitored for a concussion and chest trauma," his agent says. "He did receive stitches as well. He is grateful for the concern and good wishes of his fans."

The Wilton Police Department tells PEOPLE that a car accident is currently under investigation, but could not confirm details or that Pantoliano was struck. The department's public informations officer did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.
