Riverdale's KJ Apa Fell Asleep at the Wheel & Crashed His Car After Long Workday

KJ Apa was in a car accident and we’re thankfully able to report that he did not sustain any serious injuries.

The 20-year-old had apparently worked a long, 16 hour day on the Riverdale set in Vancouver, Canada last week. He then had to drive 45 minutes back home and fell asleep at the wheel.

THR reports that KJ was taken to the hospital and thankfully discharged without any major injuries.

Cole Sprouse, KJ‘s co-star, was also reportedly supposed to be with him in the car but his plans changed at the last minute.

KJ‘s car sustained damage and is now unusable.

The publication is reporting that because of this serious incident, cast and crew are demanding better safety and protection. Cole has apparently asked the show’s producers to provide transportation to and from set during late hours, which actually goes against WBTV’s policy.

We’re so glad KJ is okay after this scary incident.
