Actor Anton Yelchin, 27, who played Chekov in recent
"Star Trek" movies, was killed in a freak accident early Sunday
morning, police told CNN. Yelchin, who also acted in "Like Crazy" and
"Alpha Dog," died outside his home in Los Angeles, according to law
enforcement. Yelchin stepped out of his car in the driveway of his Studio City
home at around 1:10 a.m. PT when the car slid backwards and pinned him against
a brick pillar and a security fence, causing trauma that led to his death, said
Jennifer Houser with the Los Angeles Police Department.
"The victim was on his way to meet his friends for a
rehearsal and when he didn't show up, his friends went to his house where they
found him deceased by his car," Houser told CNN. "It appears that he
momentarily left his car, leaving it in the driveway. He was behind the vehicle
when it rolled backward and pinned him to the brick pillar causing the trauma
that led to his death."
Houser says Yelchin's family was notified by the friends
that found him. She did not know whether the car was running when he was found.
