Default Stuntman injured in third accident on James Bond movie set

A stuntman was seriously injured on the set of the latest James Bond movie when the Alfa Romeo he was driving crashed into a truck, reports This is London. He was airlifted to a nearby hospital after being cut loose from the wreckage by firefighters. A second driver escaped with only minor injuries.

Filming was immediately stopped and producers are still debating whether the scene should be reshot or scrapped.

It's the third accident on the movie's set in under a week. The first came last weekend when an engineer put the movie's Aston Martin DBS into a lake, the second just hours later when a stuntman was injured in a chase.

The film, titled "Quantum of Solace," is scheduled to be released in November.
