TOM CRUISE - EXTRAS RULED TO HAVE CAUSED ACCIDENT ON VALKYRIE SET

LATEST: Extras hurt on TOM CRUISE's new movie VALKYRIE have been told the production company was not responsible for the accident. Eleven extras were injured when they fell off a driving truck last month (Aug07). Authorities for occupational health and safety insist no major safety defects were found on the vehicle - contrary to the claims of some extras. An inspection had shown the truck was safe. It is claimed the extras failed to close the truck's side covering properly, causing it to open in transit - absolving the production company of any blame. Filming will now have to be controlled by a safety manager at all times.
