An Australian stunt driver has been hospitalized in Thailand after a film-related crash left him severely injured while shooting "The Hangover Part II".
Australia's Daily Telegraph reported that stunt driver Scott McLean was in a coma after crashing his car into another vehicle at a high speed during a scene for movie.
Warner Bros., which is distributing the sequel, confirmed the incident in a statement released to The Hollywood Reporter.
"There was an accident involving a truck and a car on the second unit set of The "Hangover Part II" near Bangkok, Thailand, at approximately 3:00 a.m. on Friday, December 17, 2010 (Bangkok time). A stuntman was injured during the filming of this sequence," the statement read.
"The truck and car were both driven by stunt drivers. An ambulance immediately took the injured stuntman to the local hospital, and he has since been transported to a hospital in Bangkok, where advanced care is being provided. We are awaiting further details concerning his condition."
No further details were available from the company.
The film reunites the original foursome played by Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, Justin Bartha and Ed Helms.
