“Riverdale” star KJ Apa was reportedly involved in a car accident in Vancouver, Canada, last week after driving home following a 16-hour work day, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The actor apparently fell asleep at the wheel after midnight during his 45-minute trip home before his vehicle struck a light pole. Apa, who plays Archie in the hit CW series, was meant to be joined by co-star Cole Sprouse, who apparently secured a different means of transportation. The incident has reportedly sparked a conversation about safety and protection among the cast, crew and the network, especially after working late hours. Sprouse and other castmembers have reportedly asked for transportation to be provided from now on in light of the accident.
