“The accident that took place on the set of Midnight Rider was a terrible tragedy, and the DGA joins our colleagues in the entertainment industry in mourning the loss of Sarah Jones. Our thoughts are with everybody who has been affected.
“Safety is of paramount importance to the Guild and its members. In a tragic situation like this, it is natural to want to know what happened and who is responsible. But the facts of this accident are still unclear, the situation is complex, and multiple investigations are ongoing. Until those investigations have reached their conclusion, it is extremely important not to rush to judgment. Accordingly, the DGA will not make any comments nor take any actions until the conclusion of the investigations or any legal proceedings.
“Again, our hearts are with all those who are grieving or have been affected by this tragic accident.”
