The entire entertainment industry is in shock after beloved actress Julia Montes was reportedly rushed to the hospital and left in critical condition following a terrifying accident during a taping session for her upcoming teleserye.
Initial reports say the actress fell from a scaffolding setup during a high-action scene that involved running on elevated platforms. According to the production crew, the accident happened so fast that everyone on set was left paralyzed in fear.
“It was supposed to be a controlled shot,” one crew member said. “Then suddenly, we heard a scream and saw Julia fall.
THE INCIDENT: “She wasn’t moving…”
The accident occurred late in the evening during a night shoot in an undisclosed location in Bulacan. Witnesses say Julia lost her footing during a chase sequence and fell from a height of approximately 10 feet.
“She landed hard,” said one staff member. “And for a few seconds, she wasn’t moving. Everyone froze.”
She was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital where she was declared in critical but stable condition. Early assessments indicated multiple fractures and internal bruising. The doctors have not ruled out surgery. COCO MARTIN RUSHED TO HER SIDE
Julia’s longtime friend and rumored partner Coco Martin was reportedly on a separate set when he received the news and rushed to the hospital immediately.
According to sources, Coco was seen crying outside the emergency room.
“He kept asking, ‘Is she okay? Please tell me she’s okay,’” a hospital staffer revealed.
He has since remained by her side, refusing to leave, even as filming for his own projects has been temporarily paused.
