RUCH, Ore. - Bruce Campbell (news), an actor whose credits include "Evil Dead," "Hercules," "Xena, Warrior Princess" and "Spider-Man" suffered minor injuries in a weekend accident.

Campbell, 45, of Jacksonville, was driving late Saturday when his car was struck by a Jeep driven by 36-year-old Steven Michael Sellers of Medford.

Sellars, who was ejected from his vehicle and struck the windshield of the Explorer, was listed in critical condition Sunday with head injuries.

Campbell, who has a cult following among horror film buffs, was treated and released from a local hospital.

Sellars was cited by the Jackson County Sheriff's Department for driving under the influence of intoxicants, assault, failing to maintain lane of travel, driving while suspended and for outstanding traffic tickets.

The best to Bruce's recovery.

It is nice for a change to have the drunk driver be badly hurt and the victim be mostly fine. Just glad Bruce isn't dead.

[MacReady]

Get well soon Bruce.

Yeah, really. That's a relief at least.
I hate hearing stories about drunk drivers not being injured at all after colliding into an unsuspecting and completely cautious 8 year old walking their bike across the street.

Then they have to 'live with the pain of killing that child'. Yeah, well at least they get to LIVE, right?

So I'm glad no one died, and I'm even more glad the drunk driver had to pay more for his fault than the victim. Especially Mr. Bruce Campbell.

[Hannibal21]

:( I hope he gets well soon.

[Rated R]

Man, that sucks. I hope Bruce is alright, he is one of the coolest personalities on film. Plus his book is great. I'd love to meet him, this almost made it certain I wouldn't.

[Dignan]

Thank god he's alright... it woud be a true tragedy to lose BC, a personal hero of mine...


GET WELL SOON BRUCE!

[Jon Lyrik]

Thank God he's OK and it is nothing more than minor injuries. Hope he fully recovers soon.

[El Bracamonti]

One reason drunk drivers survive so often is because they're drunk - their body is loose and goes with the flow of the destruction, they're very relaxed so bumps and collisions damage them less. Kind of like trying to resist someone throwing a brick into your stomach - do you let it push you back or resist as hard as you can? Just a bit of trivia.

I did get to briefly meet Campbell at the Evil Dead 20th anniversary. He is indeed as cool as everyone says. I was amazed at how chatty some people were with him, which I thought was a little strange since as far as I knew, none of them had met him before. Oh well.

[The Delfonics]

No Bruce!! He was a deadite, you gotta get out and blast him with you boomstick!

This is some scary news omg, just a little shift a movement and Bruce could be dead! NO!! Thank God Bruce, cause u promised to be in my next movie.

GET WELL SOON BRUCE! Ditto. Jeez... I was scared there for a sec.......

[Jayen]

get well B.C. cos there just ain't ne-body else who can "show us some sugar, baby", like u do.

[James Logan]

Bruce Campbell...invincible. :cool:

More seriously, get well quick, sir. I mean, is God angry at show business stars these days? If he don't kill 'em, he hurts 'em. Scary.

[Razorblade Smile]

Can't fuck with Bubba Ho-Tep.

I'm very relieved to hear that his injuries aren't serious.

[quoth_the_raven]

I am glad he is ok anyway...

[Droog989]

C'mon, this is The King; a car crash isn't going to faze him. He'll be back and kicking in no time, without a doubt.

Good to hear it wasn't to serious.

[SAI]

Just want to join everyone wishing Bruce a speedy and full recovery.

Hail indeed

[thirdeye]

I'm happy just to hear that Bruce is alright.

[Klownzilla]

It's good that Bruce is Ok and that nothing even more terrible happened to him.

Note to drunk drivers: STAY OFF THE GODDAMN ROAD!

[Psychocandy]

It's good that he's not badly hurt. Got a start when I saw the thread title. :eek:

[JCR]

[Tagia_Romero]
