Shooting for the film Maze Runner, actor Dylan O’Brien endured a devastating accident. While performing a stunt on a moving car, his harness broke, and he fell. The fall wasn't as injurious, but then another vehicle drove over him and dragged him for a long stretch of distance. This resulted in multiple fractures and a severe concussion. The physical and emotional trauma after this accident was a lot, and it took about a year for Dylan to recover. It left him with anxiety about acting.
