Sibling actors Kris and Carly Pope were injured today during an unsuccessful carjacking attempt in Vancouver, British Columbia. Carly, known for her recent work on TV shows, "24" and "Popular" was reportedly admitted to a hospital after the incident, in which she remaint in what appears to be a BMW 5-Series as the alleged carjacker drove off and hit several vehicles before crashing into a building.

Brother Kris apparently climbed out of the car to confront a man who jumped onto the hood when the male jumped into the vacant driver's seat and started to speed off.

About the BMW 5-Series

2010 BMW 5-SeriesFrom Edmunds.com: Like Frank Sinatra singing "My Way," the 2010 BMW 5 Series is looking at the tail end of its career. With a completely redesigned model just a year away, the latest 5 is facing its final curtain, but does so while still remaining a top choice for a premium midsize luxury sedan. Indeed, while newer competitors have surpassed this segment's elder statesman in certain areas, the 5 remains one of the finest vehicles in the world to travel each and every highway.

Regrets? The 5 has a few, but the most worthy to mention is iDrive, which has been harped on endlessly since its introduction in the early 2000s. For 2010, all 5 Series thankfully get the latest iDrive knob and accompanying menu buttons, but without navigation, the same old convoluted menu structure remains.
