“Suvivor Greece” — the European country’s version of the hit competition show — has been put on an indefinite pause after a contestant was apparently hit by a tourist boat during filming.
According to the Toronto Sun … authorities say 21-year-old Stavros Floros was spearfishing for the show off the coast of Saona Island in the Dominican Republic when he was struck by the propellers of a tourist boat.
The Sun reports the accident resulted in a significant injury to Floros’ right ankle — and a partial amputation of the left leg.
AcunMedya — the show’s production company — confirmed the injury to the Canada-based outlet … adding it plans on “investigating the causes of the incident in order to fully determine the circumstances.”
A statement — written in Greek — was posted to the show’s official Facebook account … and notes that, while Floros is now out of immediate danger, an air transfer to a U.S. center is still being considered.
The broadcaster — SKAI Television — which carries “Survivor Greece” reportedly won’t air the show until further notice.
