A piece of scaffolding, knocked loose by strong winds, struck Chenoweth, who fell to the ground.  The actress, according to the New York Post, suffered a brief seizure following the accident and was later fitted with a neck brace and taken to Bellevue Hospital.

A witness told TMZ.com that when Chenoweth fell, she also hit her head on the pavement.

A spokesperson for the New York City Fire Department told the Associated Press that a woman had suffered minor injuries at the Brooklyn location, but he wouldn't identify the person.

Chenoweth is listed in stable condition, according to the Post.

CBS released a statement, which reads: "While filming a scene for 'The Good Wife' in Brooklyn, a gust of wind blew a lighting silk out of place striking actress Kristin Chenoweth... All of us at the studio and the show are thinking about Kristin and wishing her a quick recovery." *

CBS Entertainment announced on June 26 that  Chenoweth ("Pushing Daisies"), who also won a Tony for You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown (and was nominated for playing Glinda in Wicked), will make her debut in the series with its fourth-season premiere in September.

"Chenoweth will match wits with both Alicia and Peter [played by Chris Noth] in her role as a top-of-her-game political reporter who wants to know more about the Florrick campaign and marriage," according to CBS. The series shoots in New York City.
