The Boy star was critically injured in a car accident after a car he was in with friend Kaleb Maxwell crashed into a bridge in East Opotiki.

The horrific crash required emergency services to cut James from the wreck. He was stabilised at the scene, then air-lifted to Tauranga Hospital in a critical condition. The badly injured actor was then transferred to the intensive care unit at Waikato Hospital.

James was reportedly discharged on August 31, and continued his recovery at an unnamed rehabilitation facility in Auckland.
