Bond Stunt Driver Crashes Aston Martin DBS into Italian Lake
Written By: Seyth Miersma
It seems that there was a little real life drama during recent filming of the newest James Bond movie, Quantum of Solace.
While shooting a chase scene in the pouring rain around Italy’s picturesque Lake Garda yesterday morning, a stunt driver lost control of Bond’s Aston Martin DBS. Aston and driver went off the road, crashing into the waters of the serene mountain lake. Thankfully, the driver sustained only minor injuries and was released from the hospital yesterday afternoon.
The DBS however was found to be a total loss after being fished out of Garda, as can be generally evidenced from the image above.

If they were smart and creative, they’d figure out how to use that scene in the movie.

Good to hear the driver wasn’t hurt. I’m sure the car will be put back together and up for auction on ebay from a “B” lot at a suspiciously good price

it’s good to see that they’re trying to get everything out of the car that they can. weak chase scenes are really annoying

Thank God the driver is fine. Loved Casino Royale; I’m eager to see this.

The story that I heard was that it was a gofer moving the car to the location for the shoot.

What an idiot. It looks like he didn’t only lose control of the car, he crashed into something, I mean, look at the back of the car, and then fell into the lake. I hope that stunt driver goes to hell, I wouldn’t have driven it into the lake.
