Milano managed to stop the car and give her uncle CPR. UPDATE: Milano confirms on Twitter her uncle suffered a "serious heart attack" and that "we are unsure if he will recover."

Alyssa Milano urges others to learn CPR following Damar Hamlin collapse (https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Culture/alyssa-milano-encourages-learn-cpr-after-damar-hamlin/story?id=96132706)

Actress Alyssa Milano is shining a spotlight on the importance of becoming CPR certified and how that training can save lives, following the collapse of Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin during Monday night's NFL game between the Bills and Cincinnati Bengals.

Hamlin remains hospitalized in critical condition in the intensive care unit, Bills officials said Tuesday afternoon.

In an Instagram post (https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm8gbLqOuXB/) Tuesday, Milano shared a photo of Bills and Bengals fans praying in front of the hospital where Hamlin is currently being treated and recalled an experience of her own when CPR helped save her uncle's life.

"My uncle went into cardiac arrest while driving me to an appointment," Milano wrote. "We were on the 405 freeway. It was absolutely terrifying. I administered CPR until the EMTs arrived. They worked on him for another 30 minutes before taking him to the hospital where he was sedated and put on a breathing machine."

"My uncle is still alive," she added. "Never lose hope. And get trained in CPR. You could save a life."

Milano first shared the terrifying experience with her uncle back in 2021 in a series of tweets (https://twitter.com/Alyssa_Milano/status/1428041995017146372?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1428041995017146372%7Ctwgr%5E459ddaf6d781cb31f3218f0c6c0c9b673ab6ce92%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.goodmorningamerica.com%2Fculture%2Fstory%2Falyssa-milano-details-terrifying-traumatic-car-accident-uncle-79537244). At the time, she also urged her followers to get CPR certified and said, "You don't know when you'll be called upon to save a life."
