A stuntman was seriously injured when the car he was driving crashed into a wall during the filming of a chase sequence for the new James Bond movie on a famously winding lakeside road in northern Italy, a local official said yesterday.
The London-based production company for Quantum of Solace said that an experienced stunt driver of an Alfa Romeo remained hospitalized in serious condition following the accident Wednesday. A second stunt driver in the same car was also injured, but less seriously. Their identities weren't released.
The accident was the second on the Bond set, after an Aston Martin being delivered to the set skidded off the road in heavy rain and landed in Lake Garda on Saturday. No one was injured and the car was later fished from the lake.
