Hey, how’s Jason Priestley been doing, you were just wondering the other night. Well, turns out, he’s not great!
Priestley tweeted Wednesday about suffering a concussion after falling off a horse on the set of The Code, an upcoming Canadian TV show where Priestley plays an ex-hockey player-cum-crime solver.

But hold up. A Canadian cop show. With horses… Is Jason Priestley playing a Mountie?!?!
The fall apparently happened on Monday and Priestley had to stay in the hospital overnight for observation, but has since been released. Priestley says that he is fine and fortunately suffered no long-term damage from the fall. However, he is taking some time off given his “history of concussions.”
The former Beverly Hills, 90210 star is a bit of an adrenaline junkie and, therefore, has a history of injuries. In 2002, Priestley was seriously injured in a car crash during a pre-race drive at the Kentucky Speedway. He suffered a fractured vertebra, but escaped paralysis.
