Happy Days Star Cathy Silvers Breaks Leg While Hiking and Is Airlifted to the Hospital

Cathy Silvers is opening up about how a romantic day of biking and hiking with her boyfriend ended with her in the hospital.

On Sunday, Silvers, 58, was trekking back down through the canyons in Santa Clarita, California when the actress heard an alarming cracking sound in her leg, she told TMZ.

It was then that she realized that she was unable to walk.

Due to the sudden injury, that left her completely immobile, Silvers’ boyfriend had to carry her the rest of the way, Silvers explained to the outlet. The descent took him over an hour and it was only their second date, she noted.

Once they made it down far enough, Silvers’ boyfriend called 911.

However, it wasn’t until a few hours after the call for help that search and rescue officials located Silvers. A helicopter was later dispatched, and she was airlifted to a nearby hospital.

Throughout the harrowing ordeal, Silvers told TMZ that she was in unbearable pain.
