BARBARA WALTERS was so severely injured in a terrifying fall at a pre-inauguration party that doctors were concerned she may have suffered a potentially deadly brain injury.
The 83-year-old broadcaster tumbled down the stairs at the home of British Ambassador Peter Westmacott in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 19, knocking her unconscious and leaving her covered in blood from a gaping wound on her forehead. She was rushed by ambulance to a local hospital, where she was held so that doctors could monitor her for life-threatening complications from the injury.
IN AN EXCLUSIVE ENQUIRER INTERVIEW, a partygoer who witnessed the frightening fall said Barbara was “lucky she wasn’t killed.”
