The crash occurred when a Coast Guard vessel ferrying the star to a movie set ran into a semi-submerged barge, according to TMZ.

Corin, who rose to fame in the hit nineties sitcom, underwent emergency surgery after suffering major injuries in the accident.

'We hit the sinking barge, and that is what filled the boat to one side immediately with an enormous amount of force, and that threw me into the side of the boat where I shattered my femur in 3 places,' Corin told a local news reporter from his hospital bed.



Corin explained that several blood transfusions were required to save his life after losing more than half of his blood due to the severe break in his femur.
