- comments
Ryan Reynolds was nearly ran over at a hotel parking lot in Vancouver, Canada. CBC News states that the "Deadpool" actor was a "victim of a hit and run" at the Shangri-la Hotel parking lot on Friday, April 10, 2015.
Const. Brian Montague, from the Vancouver Police Department, shared some information about the accident. Talking about the actor's condition Montague says, "It was a hit and run in the parking lot apparently, but there were no injuries."
In an e-mail, Montague tells CBC News, " I can confirm we attended and investigated the hit and run in the parking lot on Friday. Unfortunately, I have not been given an update and don't know the outcome or how things have progressed with confirming who the driver is."
Meanwhile, Rynold's publicist, Leslie Sloane, also made several statements concerning the incident, reports CTV News. Sloane says, "While walking, Ryan was struck by a paparazzi driving a car through an underground parking garage. The man fled the scene. Ryan is ok."
The hotel also had a few words to say about the actor's brush with fate, adds CTV News. The hotel spokesperson, who did not mention Reynold's name in the statement said, "We have extended our full assistance to the authorities who are handling the matter."
According to CTV News, the police will have to contact the actor to see if he will press charges on the driver despite the fact that the alleged culprit has not been identified yet. Montague said, however, that the police may "have an idea" about the driver's identity.
The Assiociated Press states that Reynolds was born in Vancouver, but he was not there to visit family. The "Green Lantern" actor was actually there to film some shots for the "Deadpool" movie. He had been there for several weeks already when the incident occurred, reports CP 24.
CTV News adds that Reynolds was seen back on set for the Marvel Movie the day after the incident. He later tweeted a photo of himself in his "Deadpool" costume with another actor.
Richard Zussman, a CBC reporter, asked Reynolds' how he was doing after the incident and added his number on a post in Twitter. The actor showed his sense of humor tweeting back, "Put Beachcombers back on the air and I'll call," referring to a Canadian comedy series on CBC, which went off air in 1990.
