Heartbeat actor airlifted to hospital following on-set tractor accident
 

Five cast and crew members have been injured in a tractor accident on the set of ITV's Heartbeat.

The incident occurred at the village of Grosmont, near Whitby, North Yorkshire, reports the BBC. One actor was taken by air ambulance to a Middlesbrough hospital, while the others received local medical attention.

None of the injuries are believed to be life-threatening.

An ITV spokesperson confirmed that a guest actor had "received chest injuries" during the accident, which is suspected to have happened after a tractor rolled down an embankment.

"We're hopeful he'll be discharged from hospital tomorrow," said ITV. "No further details will be released whilst a Health and Safety Executive investigation is ongoing."
