Montreal, Mar 19 (IANS): “Maze Runner” star Dylan O’Brien was hit by a car and suffered multiple injuries on the set of the franchise’s upcoming sequel “The Death Cure”.
O'Brien was reportedly run over by a vehicle in a car scene gone wrong and may have suffered multiple broken bones.
The 24-year-old actor was taken to a local hospital in British Columbia for observation and treatment following the accident, reports variety.com.
"Maze Runner" author James Dashner tweeted an update on the actor's health on Friday.
"I just want to let everyone know that yes, Dylan was hurt, but that he's going to be okay," Dashner said.
