The director of the Maze Runner trilogy, Wes Ball, took to Twitter this weekend to update fans on Dylan O’Brien’s health condition following a car accident on set of the dystopian thriller.
“Well, it’s been a whirlwind of emotions these past few days. I’ve been overwhelmed with feelings of anger and sadness and guilt,” Ball said in a note posted to Twitter.
“But, ultimately I find myself left with just a deep love and respect for Dylan. He is one tough cookie,” he continued.”I’m sorry for the grief this accident has caused his friends and family as well as my wonderful cast and crew. It’s scary seeing your friend get hurt, but fortunately, Dylan is going to be just fine.”
Ball concluded the note, “After a few weeks of rest and recovery he’ll be back up and running to finish our adventure together.”
