Star Trek's Actor Anton Yelchin Dies In A Car Accident At 27

The body of the Russian-born actor was found at around 1am on his driveway in San Fernadino, California. He had been hit by his own car, police sources told TMZ.

A friend found Yelchin's body pinned between his car and a brick mail box, which was attached to a security gate.

The car was in neutral at the time with the engine still running, with the source adding that the driveway had a steep incline.

The friend had visited the home after growing concerned when Yelchin failed to attend a planned rehearsal earlier in the evening.

Police are still investigating the sudden death, but sources told TMZ that there were not thought to be any suspicious circumstances.
