Soap Opera Actor Hit by Alleged Drunk Driver, Attacked on Thanksgiving
A TV actor and model was hospitalized with a broken arm after he was hit by a car and attacked by an allegedly drunk driver in a parking lot on Thanksgiving.
Corey Sligh, a Young and the Restless actor who also works as a model, told cops he was on his way to deliver a Thanksgiving meal to a friend when he and his girlfriend pulled into a Los Angeles RiteAid parking lot.
The attack started after Sligh noticed an allegedly drunk driver doing donuts in the lot with a friend.
"They almost hit people in the parking lot. They were hitting curbs, and Corey said, 'Please slow down or we're gonna call the cops. Just go home,'" Sligh's girlfriend, Alisa Berhorst told CBS.
Instead, LAPD officers say, the driver apparently hit Sligh with his car, then got out and starting beating him.
"The guy walked up on him like 'I'm in the mood to kill somebody and this is who it's going to be because he told me to be careful and slow down and go away," Berhorst said.
The two men reportedly fled the scene but were apprehended nearby after crashing the car. Sligh suffered a broken arm in the attack and reportedly underwent surgery at Cedars-Sinai.
