Filming on the Maze Runner movie has been halted because of injuries suffered by its star Dylan O’Brien.

The 24-year-old was hurt last month while working on Maze Runner: The Death Cure, the third and final instalment of the series.

The on-set accident reportedly involved a vehicular stunt in British Columbia during work on the sci-fi movie series, based on author James Dashner’s novels.

Twentieth Century Fox said it planned to restart production as soon as possible.

A spokesman for O’Brien – who also stars in television series Teen Wolf – said he was recovering from the incident.

Fox did not comment on whether or not the delay would impact the film’s planned February 2017 release.
