Justin Sundquist suffered a head injury during a stunt involving him transferring from one vehicle to another, according to Deadline. His accident hasn't affected filming. Sundquist sued CBS last year, claiming he was hit by a car during a Hawaii Five-0 stunt gone awry.

Injured MacGyver stunt coordinator is out of a medically induced coma, but "he's not out of the woods yet" (https://deadline.com/2018/08/macgyver-stuntman-justin-sundquist-out-of-coma-1202453054/)
Justin Sundquist is "out of ICU and knows what’s going on," fellow veteran stuntman Spiro Razatos tells Deadline. "He’s responding and communicating with his friends and family. He has a long road ahead of him, but he’s on a better road now. We’re all praying for the positivity to continue.”
