Accident at Stunt Show

I occasionally drive the Backlot Tour shuttle at the Disney-MGM Studios. We are located right next to the new Lights! Motors! Action! Extreme Stunt Show, which is in previews right now and opens in May.

During the 5:45 showing today, I was driving the route which goes right by the theater, and I had to stop because an ambulance and other emergency vehicles were entering the stadium. From what I have heard, one of the stunt drivers flipped over his car, it was wrecked pretty badly, and he was unable to get out. I have heard conflicting reports on his condition, so I can't comment, other than to say that lot of guests I spoke to later saw the incident and seemed very concerned. (The stadium had a full audience, including Bob Iger. This happened very early in the show, and the audience had to leave.)

It was hard giving the remaining tours as I had to spiel while passing by fire trucks and ambulances and such, and I couldn't say anything about them. (A tent and a bunch of prop trucks were immediately placed around the accident vehicle, and there were many managers and crew.)
I just hope the guy is okay.
