A young actor’s life came to a tragic end after he fell out of a moving car just days before Christmas.
Hudson Joseph Meek, 16, sustained blunt force injuries after falling out of the vehicle on the evening of Dec. 19 in his hometown of Vestavia Hills, Ala. – located just south of Birmingham.
Two days later, the “Baby Driver” actor succumbed to his wounds “peacefully” on Dec. 21.
“Our hearts are broken to share that Hudson Meek went home to be with Jesus tonight,” his mother, Lani Wells Meek, posted on her Facebook page. “His 16 years on this earth were far too short, but he accomplished so much and significantly impacted everyone he met.”
The Vestavia Hills Police Department is investigating how the incident occurred, the local NBC affiliate WVTM reported.
