A “Tales of the Walking Dead” crew member was taken to a hospital after an accident on set, Variety has confirmed.
The accident occurred on Monday night after filming had wrapped for the day. It involved a riverboat and a plank connecting the boat to the pier. The crew member fell into the water and was taken to a hospital via ambulance, but she is in stable condition. A marine safety crew was present when the incident occurred and is currently investigating what happened.
Production on the series was suspended on Tuesday and resumed again on Wednesday morning.
