Dominic Purcell injured on Prison Break set

Aussie actor Dominic Purcell has been injured on the set of Prison Break, in an accident that very nearly cost him his life.

After an iron bar fell on his head, he is now sporting a broken nose, but remains upbeat with filming continuing.

On Instagram he noted:

“Had a little accident on set. Haha ! Back at work asap. Pays to have a thick skull when an iron bar falls on your #head!! busting it open severely also broke my nose in two places. Haha. I got a free nose job out of it…… Stoked to be alive. All good. #chill. Oh. I didn’t get knocked out took a knee. Ha!! Doc said I have an unusually tough tissue fiber that’s what saved me apparently. Thank god for my #Viking heritage hahaha !!!!

“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. ??”

The Prison Break revival will be coming to TEN.
