An assistant director, who also worked on previous James Bond movies like 'Quantum of Solance' and 'Skyfall', was injured in an accident on the set of upcoming 007 film 'Spectre'.

Second unit assistant director Terry Madden suffered multiple fractures when a camera truck veered off the road and crashed into a barn while filming in Solden, Austria, said the Hollywood Reporter.

The news comes a week after James Bond star Daniel Craig suffered an accident and injured his knee while shooting a fight scene.

Bond producers were forced to delay production on the film to allow Craig to fully recover.
 

A planned stunt sequence in Central London was scrapped last week and bosses changed the production schedule to work around the problem.

Craig is returning to star in 'Spectre', which is being directed by Sam Mendes and also stars Christoph Waltz, Lea Seydoux, Naomie Harris and Dave Bautista.

The Eon Productions, MGM and Sony film is slated for release on November 6, 2015.
