HOLLYWOOD - A crewmember on the new Batman movie has been killed in an on-set accident.
The special-effects expert was following the Batmobile on a racetrack in Surrey, England, when the car he was in crashed into a tree.
It is believed the dead man was trying to figure out how to film a car chase scene.
The unnamed victim, a married father of two, died at the scene of the crash.
Police and health and safety experts are investigating the incident.
None of the film's cast including Christian Bale, Michael Caine and Heath Ledger saw the accident. Batman: The Dark Knight is to be released next year.
