Hudson Meek, a teen actor best known for his work in “Baby Driver,” died after he fell from a moving vehicle in Alabama, officials said. He was 16.

Meek sustained blunt force injuries when he fell from the motor vehicle in his hometown, Vestavia Hills, the Jefferson County Medical Examiner’s Office told NBC News on Thursday. He was injured Dec. 19 and died at UAB Hospital on Saturday.

The Vestavia Hills Police Department is investigating the circumstances surrounding his death, the office said. The incident happened in the 1900 block of Canyon Road in Vestavia Hills, a suburb south of Birmingham.

A post on Meek’s Instagram account Saturday said, “Our hearts are broken to share that Hudson Meek went home to be with Jesus tonight.”

Meek played “Young Baby” in the 2017 Edgar Wright action film “Baby Driver,” playing a younger version of the main character, played by Ansel Elgort.

A post on his social media account said that there will be a celebration of life Saturday, which will be streamed online. There will be a scholarship fund in his memory at Vestavia Hills High School, where he was a sophomore, his family said in an obituary.

“His 16 years on this earth were far too short, but he accomplished so much and significantly impacted everyone he met,” the post on Meek’s Instagram account read.

Acting Out! Academy, which is in Vestavia Hills, called him “one of AOA’s first and brightest stars” Sunday on Facebook.

“May you shine forever Hud. You will be deeply missed,” the performing arts academy wrote. “Please join us in praying for his amazing family during this difficult time.”

Meek most recently had television roles on NBC’s “Found” and National Geographic’s “Genius.” He also played “Bully Boy” in the 2016 film “Providence,” a romantic drama that won the best cast award at the 2016 Christian Film Festival.

His family said in an obituary that Meek died surrounded by family and friends. He was an organ donor, they said.

“His family is comforted by knowing that he will continue to help others for years to come,” the obituary reads.
