"Smallville" stuntman injured on set

CNN is reporting:

Veteran stuntman Christopher Sayour was in serious condition late Tuesday after falling from a tower during the filming of the WB Network drama "Smallville" in Vancouver.

Sayour, 35, the stunt coordinator for the show and primary stuntman for "Smallville" star Tom Welling, was badly injured in what one source described as a "freak accident" during filming Tuesday morning on location near the township of Langley.

In a statement, Sayour's family said that he had suffered "multiple fractures and internal injuries during the filming of a stunt sequence." The family also asked that the media "respect our privacy as he undergoes various procedures in the coming days."

Let's all hope for a speedy recovery.
