Bond Car Crashes

Production on the James Bond film, Quantum of Solace, was temporarily suspended in April 2008, after three stunt-car accidents, one of them near-fatal, occurred on the set within four days. Adding to rumors of the film being "cursed" was a fatal heart attack suffered by a bicyclist who had stopped to watch the shooting a week earlier.MI6.co.uk: Production Diary (April 24, 2008)

The first crash happened at around 6 a.m., when Aston Martin employee Jonathan Dunn-Fraser lost control of a car on the way to the set and veered off the road, through a guard rail and into Lake Garda. It was recovered from the lake, but was thoroughly destroyed in the crash.The Independant: Stuntman in coma as Bond curse strikes again (April 25, 2008)
