"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” yesterday, Variety has confirmed.

The 24-year-old actor was taken to a local hospital in British Columbia for observation and treatment following the accident.

“Production on the film will be shut down while he recovers,” a Fox spokesperson said. “Our thoughts go out to Dylan for a full and speedy recovery.”

According to TMZ, O’Brien was run over by a vehicle in a car scene gone wrong and may have suffered multiple broken bones.

Update:

Deadline says:

O’Brien apparently fell off the back of a set that was supposed to look like the back of a train and fractured either his cheekbone or orbital socket (still not clear on the details) when he fell on his face.

 

[doctorcdcs]

[CapitalismSucks DonkeyBalls]

WTF, that's horrible. I love this guy. Hope he recovers soon.

 

[Violence Jack]

Damn, dude was ran over by a car?

Good thing he's still alive.

 

[studyguy]

Thought most actors didn't do their own stunts. Not that stuntman getting run down is any better but still, wonder what exactly happened.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Shit, I wonder what this means for Teen Wolf too given that he is currently filming for the sixth season. I'm guessing he gets written off for a bit. Hope he recovers well.

 

[vikki]

Damn, someone is in a lot of trouble.

 

[MLCodest]

Wishing him a speedy recovery, that sounds like an awful accident.

 

[vinnygambini]

Hope he's alright, love the guy.

 

[mrjohill]

[exmachina64]

Wow, I hope he recovers quickly.

 

[Mariolee]

Holy crap, my prayers are with him. That soubds insane.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

Shit thats unfortunate. Hope he's alright.

 

[brandonh83]

[LakeEarth]

Oh shit, he was hit by a car during a scene? That's crazy.

 

[Human Resources]

Prayers to the accounting dept as well, this insurance claim is gonna fuckin' suck.

 

[Meowster]

That's awful, I hope he's alright and wish him the best and smoothest recovery.

[BewareTheBatsie]

Getting hit during a scene too. I saw the title and though a genuine accident in regular life but happening during filming? Someone is either getting fired or sued.

Wait so was he hit by a car or fell off a prop? Either way fuck me that sounds horrible with pain.

Deadline says:

Holy SHIT

An orbital bone fracture is super painful & takes forever to heal. It's bad luck since you have to get hit in just the right spot for it to happen

 

[Senoculum]

I said ouch at that last sentence. It really sucks when entire productions shut down because of horrible accidents. I hope everyone is okay.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Deadline says:

Ouch....that sucks.

 

[kirblar]

It sounds like the set was on the back of a moving car/truck.

That is not an easy injury to deal with.

 

[plainr_]

Damn, that is awful.

 

[xxracerxx]

Getting part of your face broken is no joke. Hope he recovers in a speedy fashion.

 

[RootCause]

Did they run their star over?
Hope he recovers.

Olivia Jackson vibes. :/

Not only that, but it can also change significantly your appearance. Just look at what happened to Anquan Boldin after he broke his face. Mark Hamill is another example.

 

[SolidEyeSystem]

this wouldn't have happened if he had spider senses. thanks marvel

 

[GameAddict411]

How did this happen? sounds crazy. He was hit by the car on set? I see a huge lawsuit coming.

 

[Trike]

Ryan Reynolds was also hit by a car during the production of Deadpool in Vancouver. I know it would be fucked up, but I kinda hope it is the same guy.

 

[shadowkat]

Stiles!

I hope he's okay. Terrible thing to happen.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

Fucking hell, hope he recovers alright.

That Native American curse coming back at him again.

 

[JMTHEFOX]

Absolutely terrible. Crossing fingers that O'Brien and Reynolds recover quickly.

Dude sounds like a trooper.

Are you seriously not going to give a reason as to why?

 

[everyday math]

Wow heres to a good recovery. Scary.

I wonder if it was moving or stationary.
