Daniel Craig suffers injury on the set of Bond movie

DANIEL Craig, who plays Bond in the forthcoming Spectre, was injured behind the wheel during a high-speed car chase through the streets of Rome. This is his second injury while filming the movie, Craig reportedly suffered a knee injury just a week earlier while filming in Austria.

The secret agent’s silver Aston Martin DB10 hit a bump in the road, as it raced through the central streets, which had been closed off for filming.

Doctors were called after Craig, 46, hit his head on the car’s interior, but the injury was not serious. However, Craig flew out of Rome the next day, leaving the stuntman to take care of the rest of the shoot.

Producers of the film have run into numerous obstacles as they attempted to finalise plans for the five-week shoot in Italy. We wish the producers good luck!

Cleveland, the Louis Henkin professor of human and constitutional rights and faculty co-director of the Human Rights Institute, said, “Her extensive experience advocating before UN and regional human rights mechanisms complements our existing offerings and will enrich the experience of our students.”
