Things got a little too real on the set of "9-1-1" ... with star Oliver Stark suffering a broken ankle during a stunt gone wrong, and he's not the only one getting hurt.

According to Deadline, Stark broke his ankle in late August while filming a stunt for Season 10 of the ABC drama, and the injury was so severe he required surgery.

The stunt reportedly involved a firefighter swinging from a car over a set piece and onto a ladder truck. A stunt double had already sprained an ankle while rehearsing the sequence but declined medical treatment, meaning no official injury report was filed.
