Prison Break Star Suffers On-Set Injury

Variety reports that while filming Prison Break in Morocco, an iron bar fell on Dominic Purcell, breaking his nose in two places and busting open part of his head. Purcell was airlifted to a Casablanca hotel, and is expected to make a full recovery. His injury will not affect production on Prison Break; they will still be able to shoot all of Purcell's planned scenes once he recovers.

Thank god my love @theannalynnemccord was there when my unfortunate accident occurred on set. She went into raging #momma mode along with #christinanorthup and got me the right care. Show goes on. No worries !!! Oh being airlifted out on a helicopter was another adventure I didn't expect. Thought the bloody thing was going to fall from the sky!!! What a day it was. Grateful to be alive. 👍👍
