Sean had previously told followers in a post that he had been "hit by a truck".

A representative for Sean told The Mirror that he was "rear ended" by a truck in Los Angeles on Tuesday (October 24). They explained that he was driving to a meeting when the truck "slammed into him rather fast".

He was taken to Cedars Sinai hospital following the accident, before having an MRI that "showed he has a dislocated shoulder and other injuries". He is now at home and is expected to make "a full recovery".

They added: "Sean is very happy nobody was seriously injured and is very grateful for the efforts of the emergency and medical staff."
