Baby Driver star dead at age 16: Hudson Joseph Meek passed away after falling from moving vehicle

The teenage actor reportedly fell from a moving vehicle in a tragic accident last week in Vestavia Hills, Alabama.

He sustained blunt force trauma after falling from the car at 10:45 p.m., according to the Jefferson County Coroner's Office, per local news outlet and NBC affiliate WVTM 13. He was taken to the UAB Hospital in Birmingham but died from his injuries on Saturday night — less than 48 hours after the coroner said he was thrown from a moving motor vehicle, per ABC 33/40 News. Meek is pictured in blue at the premiere of A Different Man at the 50th Deauville American Film Festival in September alongside Clayton Royal Johnson, Christa Boarini, Todd Wiseman Jr., Kue Miller Lawrence and Christina Brucato, Michael Sean Tighe, Eugenie Bondurant from left to right
