That is similar to a stunt in the latest Bond film (which has recently
trashed an Aston as it was being delivered to the set by a company driver
who drove it into Lake Garda). In the stunt a baddies car is overtaking
overtaking a lorry with another baddies car behind the lorry, and the first
car crashes head-on into a lorry coming the other way. For filming the
first car is attached to the side of the first lorry so it looks like it is
overtaking, attached with explosive bolts which are fired just as the 2nd
lorry approaches it. The 2nd car is being driven by stunt actors. The 1st
car is intended to be wrecked of course, but what actually happened is that
it spun round after the impact and smashed into the 2nd car, wrecked that
and forced it onto the edge of a cliff a la the coach in the original
Italian Job. Both occupants were injured, one seriously, and several people
had to sit on the bonnet to stop the car going over the cliff while they cut
them out.
