MILAN, Italy (AP) -- A stuntman was gravely injured in a car crash while filming the new James Bond film, officials from the Italian resort of Lake Garda said.

A spokesman for the northern town of Limone sul Garda says the stuntman suffered serious head injuries when he and another stuntman crashed during a car chase sequence on a winding lakeside road.

Marco Girardi says the stuntman underwent surgery in a hospital in nearby Verona. He said Thursday that the second stuntman was slightly injured.

The accident occurred on the last day of filming at the lake Wednesday.

It is the second accident on the Italian set of "Quantum of Solace." An Aston Martin went off the road Saturday and plunged into Lake Garda. Producers said the driver suffered minor injuries.
